Gardening-Excellence.co.uk goes live

Andy runs a small business called “Andrew Fereday Gardening Excellence” based in Halifax. He provides a bespoke maintenance service, specialising in perennials and flowering shrubs, many of which can be hard work to look after well. It’s a field that he takes very seriously and I can certainly recommend his skills. The business is beginning to bloom (sorry … couldn’t help it) and as a birthday present this year I thought I would buy a domain and set up a small site that would give him an online presence and make it easy to put up contact details, news and example photos from gardens that he works on.

For the moment the site is only just being set up, so you can expect quite a few changes in the near future. But hopefully it will eventually become useful as an online face of Andy’s business.

Dom & Isabel marry in Spain

Dom’s one of my earliest friends, if not the first. Well … our mothers were pregnant at the same time, working in the libray in Hull. On June 15th 2007 Dom got himself hitched to Isabel in Albacete, Spain. Leanne and I made our way over there and made a week of it, staying in Alicante for a couple of days before travelling to Albacete. It was a wonderful wedding, enjoyed by all and somehow we managed to make it all the way through to 5:30 in the morning, at which point Dom was dumped in the fountain in the hotel courtyard. Actually he was allowed to take off his trousers first, which I think was quite generous.
