Judgment Day

10th June 08

I promised myself I wouldn’t get worked up about today and that whatever happened, the result didn’t matter as it was all about the experience. Yeah, right!!

Judging day has turned me into a mad, competitive mess and although there’s nothing more I can do I am still finding things to do (ie trying to pass the time!) and getting on everyone’s nerves in the process.

The whole team has worked so hard on this project that I would love to win a medal (I don’t care what colour!) just as a thank you to them and Bradstone for giving me this wonderful opportunity. Even Sarah is nervous, and I didn’t think she would be, being such an old hand at this!

I have to say (and I know I may be slightly biased!) that our garden does look fantastic and I think we’ve fulfilled the original brief. We really have brought a slice of the Good Life to Birmingham and I just hope the judges appreciate what I’ve tried to achieve.

Now I’m going to try and find somewhere for a cuppa and a sit-down to calm my nerves
