    I would never imagine that I would meet the man himself and it is indeed an honour for me to have him right in my mini farm, Mr. GardenStew himself, Frank. :-D Even though the time is short it was really a pleasant meeting. Frank thanks again to take the time to visit and it was really nice to meet you in person and my regards to Ji Shen. :D :stew1:

    Oh wow! Lucky you, both of you! Two people I would love to meet! What a great picture of the two of you. And KK your farm looks great. What's growing on that tower there? And what's underneath it?

    What a great photograph KK!! Your smiles say it all!! So glad you two managed to meet up. That must have been a nice surprise for you meeting Frank. I think you've made lots of our members a bit green with envy. ;)

    Yes, it's true :D KK was very kind to invite me to his place, show me around the garden and to offer my travelling friend and I the best buttercakes (baked by his lovely wife Rebecca) and lemon/honey drink I've ever tasted! They have a beautiful home and were splendid hosts. Thank you again KK and family.

    Also the first time I have met a GardenStew member in the flesh. Only took 5 years :D

    What an amazing story. Well, you just never know who you'll come in contact with or when, do you.
    You guys must have really had a good time.
    The garden sounds very nice.

    I'd never have guessed! :D What a lovely photo. Big hugs to the both of you. And Frank, five years? You need to speed up things a bit. You mustn't feel too safe. After all you're just down the road from me, about a day or two's drive. :D
