If love waits for a father - then all work is but a foreplay.

If anything else but most sincere and sweetest love waits for a hard working man and father, then he may prefer to keep on working until late night as work may be more pleasant than a nogging wife or crying children.

To work for a loving family however is but a pleasure all life long. Th esmiling eyes of happy children and the sweet sparkling eyes of his lover-wife makes all work feel like a foreplay to strenghten the love between 2 lovers and their family.

Hence every father loves to be loved above all. Loved by his children as father but also loved by his wife as lover. To be father also includes the life as a lover and husband. If one of the 2 roles is neglect then a marriage drifts apart.

Every day thus starts first of all with love between husband wife. Before children wake up and long before daily work starts. A happy love life between fathers and mothers in their original role as romantic lovers is the best fuel for a successful and productive day of creative work.

I've been trawling the internet to find any Chelsea blogs, they've each got opinions and comment from different designers and many report from the showground where it's all been happening for weeks. I want to find out who is desperate because a delivery is not on schedule or who is calm (smug) with everything going to plan. If you can read between the lines you'll even discover any Chelsea controversy brewing...

Chelsea stalwarts Hilliers and their leader Andy McIndoe talk about the start of the build in the Great Pavilion, all sounds remarkably together so far. A lot to think about as you'd expect but the experienced team sound well on-track. Follow the Hort Week blog here where Andy keeps you up to date with the build.

Perhaps it's just me being nosey or my secret hankering to one day build my own show garden (well, a girl can dream!) but I've enjoyed following Adam Frost, designer of The QVC Garden through his online journal, I love finding out what it's really like to design and build a show garden at Chelsea and how amazing that first beer feels after completion!

Sorry to have to mention the financial state of things but it's an interesting thought. Has the credit crunch hit gardening? And in particular the Chelsea Flower Show? This is a topic tackled by Matt Appleby, it'll be interesting to see the impact it has on the show, perhaps we'll be bagging bargains or picking up some money-saving hints for the garden, it all helps.

For other places to check out on-line Chelsea chat, have a look at the RHS blog, with comment from Show Manager Bob Sweet you'll be privy to the inside RHS news from the top, it also features guest bloggers in the form of designers Tony Smith, designer of The Quilted Velvet Garden, Luciano Giubbilei from the Laurent Perrier Garden and others .

I like the Eden blog, but then I would, loyalty to my Cornish home and all that but it's got a lovely mix of the logistical, horticultural and funny sides of creating a garden, have a read.

Keep your eyes peeled; it's a great way to get an insight into the greatest flower show on earth before the gates open, I'm addicted already!

Sunflower desktop background image Happy Fatners Day. To have sunshine in your home, a father needs to assure all world is in peace and in love.
To do his job in this world, a father needs to know that all family knows how to stay safe at home. The only way to do so is to know that all family is spiritual and listens to God's advice during his absence from home.

I've been racking my brains, trying to decide what's different about the showground this year. Is it the layout of Main Avenue, or the presence of small gardens on the main catwalk? No, neither of those. The lack of the usual Chelsea chaos I have known for the last 21 years? No, not just that... After some 10 days of intense construction on site it's finally dawned on me... I'm missing the big band sound!

"What is he babbling about?", I can hear you say. Just across the way we used to have the Chelsea Barracks, a parade ground where the guards' band used to do daily practices. The haunting sound used to carry all over the showground, only interrupted by the landing of the occasional army helicopter. I didn't know the names of the tunes, but they were instantly recognisable to anyone who has watched a royal event on TV. I was often drawn through the tall railings and into Ranelagh Gardens, where I could escape the noise, dust and pressure, even if only for a few precious moments while I had my coffee break.

Now it's all gone; the buildings are just a mountain of crushed concrete waiting for more trendy apartments. Maybe in a few years the inhabitants of those very apartments will be adding to the other planning pressures the RHS find themselves under, but for the moment I just miss that uplifting music.

My crew are doing well and working steadily. The work is really tough, especially in the heat and dust, and my main role is to make sure the guys are safe and look after themselves. I relax and reflect by walking to the supermarket for gallons of water, suncream and the boys' favourites - custard creams! We are in the final slog and detail is everything. We've been lucky with the weather so far and for the show visitor or viewer that means they get better gardens. This is because the build is more relaxed and plants go in early so they have time to turn to the sun and adjust. The forecast is for rain this week; good for the plants but not so good for us. Time to dig out the waterproofs! This job isn't for the faint-hearted. Can you imagine not finishing on time? It's enough to make you dig deep and drive to the finishing line.
