All In The Worst Possible Taste

We had a change of venue for our first day back at college, not the freezing cold classroom in the Bramall centre but the plush surroundings of Eunice's house with a blazing log fire to keep us warm. Harlow Carr was shut for essential electrical maintenance so Eunice had kindly put us up rather than missing the lesson, we certainly weren't complaining as along with the fire came tea, coffee, home made cakes and cheese and biscuits! So comfortably ensconced we rattled through a rather tedious morning of plant nutrition before starting bedding plants in the afternoon. This was much more fun as our brief was to design a public carpet bedding scheme in the worst possible taste, it being almost impossible to come up with something subtle. Here is our attempt in honour of the Olympics, we might even try selling it to Harrogate borough council!
The other picture is a tiny part of Eunice's huge garden, hush my green eyed monster!
