Hello everyone. It's Janette here, the
enthusiastic gardener.
And there's Richard as well, the
unenthusiastic
gardener.
Cheers. It's Friday evening, the 18th of
July.
It is. And she's got a drink and I
haven't. But
well, you had a margarita.
Oh, no.
And I'm having a laga because it has
been a beautiful Friday, hasn't it?
It has. Very beautiful.
We had a lovely surprise today.
We did. We did. In Upminster. in
Upminster, which is about nine miles
away. We were off to the dentist.
Yes. Carry on.
Well, we were off to the dentist,
walking happily. Well, maybe not so
happily to the dentist. And we had a a
viewer
who recognized me.
She recognized Richard first of all. She
didn't recognize me, but she Oh, hello.
Hello. Anyway, it was so nice. We think
we think her name was Jackie.
Yeah, I I think it was Jackie, but I
could be wrong. We were so excited. We
We forgot to ask her name.
Oh, she was very excited as well.
It was so lovely. So lovely. So, hello
Jackie and thank you so much for saying
hello. And we have had probably a a few
um hellos over the years. One time we
were in Battles Bridge.
Yes. The antiques market,
the antique center. and someone said
hello and said, "Oh, I love your videos
and I've discovered Battle's Bridge
because we'd visited and we'd mentioned
it."
Yeah.
And another time,
another time I was at Liverpool Street
Station
on his own
on my arm coming home from a meeting
with me brothers and a woman shouted
across, "Bitchard. Richard
in the middle of a crowded Liverpool
Street station."
I'm like bewildered. Yes. She goes, "Oh,
enthusiastic gardener." Well, I'm not
the enthusiastic one, but Yes.
And that's it. She recognized me.
Yeah. Amazing. Amazing.
Never asked about Janette.
No. No. And and the other time that I've
been recognized is I was walking Lotty
just around here and I heard Janette.
Janette. And I looked and I thought I
thought it was someone that Richard
knew. It was these two men who were like
council workers, but they were doing the
gardening or like the landscape around
here. And I thought I just thought, "Oh,
they must be Richard's friends or
something." And then they said,
"Enthusiastic gardener."
Oh, yeah.
And so, so that was fun.
That was fun.
Well, that's our claim to fame. But we
were sitting in the dentist today after
spotting Jackie and we were like,
"That's made our day."
It has.
It has.
Anyway, there's been no gardening. We're
due for it's been very, very hot
and we're due for some stormy weather
for a few days.
Stormy weather
all next week apparently, which will be
great because the garden needs a little
bit of rain.
Well, it won't be great because I'm
playing golf next week.
Not good for golfers, but good for
gardeners.
So, there's been no gardening this week.
Uh, but I have filmed for you. Are you
making faces?
No, no, no.
I have filmed for you
um a little garden tour to music which I
hope you'll enjoy and it's been lovely
having a few weeks off of actual
physically gardening.
Oh no, I had to have a rest.
So, I hope you enjoy this film and yes,
we see you at the end on the other side
of this little film.
Well, we won't actually see them, will
we? They will see us.
Well, we do see them, Richard. They're
there. They're through the lens.

So, we hope you enjoyed that video,
don't we, Richard?
Oh, yes. We were planning I had a good
idea which we could do next week is I
thought it would be really nice to see
the garden through Rich's eyes.
What does he like? What doesn't he like
in the garden? Because it's after all
it's his garden, too.
Will you do that for everyone?
Yes, I will.
If you would like that, please let us
know in the comments below.
Or if you would rather see Janette, put
that in the comments as well. No, you
don't want to. We Richard's always It's
funny because I can do like digging. I
can be sweating, digging holes and
everything. If Richard pops up in the
video, all whatever I've planted, it's
disregarded. It's all like, "Richard,
you're so wonderful. Oh, we love
Richard. When are we going to see
Richard again?"
It's called natural charisma.
Charisma. So, on that note, we'll say
goodbye. Goodbye
and thank you for watching. We'll see
you again next week and possibly a tour
from the unenthusiastic gardener.
Who knows what I've got in store.
Bye everyone.
Bye
bye. Oh, cheers.
Yeah.
