Tuesday 6th
This is the last day of my treatment. I am beginning to feel extremely ill. Thank God I didn't accept the offer of undergoing treatment while working at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Wednesday 28th
The last four weeks have been some of the worst of my life. The radiation therapy left me badly burned. It has taken me a month to recover. Today I go to see Kevin at Squires new nursery. The plantation at Chertsey is a fantastic nursery full of mature and semi mature trees and shrubs. He has some wonderful olives, pomegranates, figs and palms and I place an initial order for Chelsea with him.
