Hi John,
I'll probably be in London in August, and might just make it for the 12th ...

Did you catch Monty Don's series on the BBC about how he tried to give drug additics, thieves and such a new life thru gardening?
----Yes, I saw it and it goes to show how difficult it can be and what a hold addiction can have. My wife ran a programme once in the US for 'at risk' children and some young offenders - whatever they thought about gardening they certainly liked the pizza they got as a change from prison food!
It was nice to read the success stories of these 3 people thanks to Trive.
