A Retro wave in France has definitely arrived and I believe will be here in the United Kingdom for good too!

It seems to have all started on the other side of the Atlantic with the arrival of Obama at the presidency of the United States. It has had an even deeper and greater effect than anticipated as we all seem to feel the positive buzz from him and embracing the future (finally again!)… However why? I believe that it all bring us back to the 50s and 60s in the great time and steps of Martin Luther King finally becoming reality. I think this is a wave of change and hope hitting our nations threw a wave of nostalgia and retro as we can only consolidate the future on a deep great good old healthy foundation that is finally seeing the light after so much time, work and ache.

With my sister, we laughed at myself the other day as I have magic green fingers, I simply can’t explain why almost everything seem to be growing really well with me even though I am really not endowed with the character of an accomplished gardener.

We were then trying to determine the core qualities to be a talented gardener. We came up with this: you have to be committed, pragmatic, and attentive to detail but without being obsessive, practical but with a twist artistic and of course to be armed with plenty of patience and laughter. A sense of humour is we believe probably the key here.
