I think most of you know by now that I'm studying the HNC in Garden Design at Pershore Horticultural College which is a two year course.  My results for the first year were published this week and I can't tell you how pleased I am ... 3 distinctions and 2 merits and one of those merits was 0.1 from being another distinction!  It really is just the best news and well worth all those really long nights and weekends studying.

We're now on summer holiday but there is no time to relax and enjoy, Blue Daisy is getting busier all the time and I have an assignment to do over the holiday period too ... no rest for the wicked!

We return to college in September, I'm looking forward to it as I've met some great people and just love learning - although I'm not looking forward to the pressure of assignments again!
