This Year's 3rd Year

I've just had a flick through some of the blogs of this year's 3rd year Garden Design students. It brings it all back; Jamie barking out orders, Julia's calming tones, everyone trying to do their best but feeling its not good enough...


Its a pretty daunting thing that the 3rd year students are now embarking on but this time next year you will be sitting there, as I am now, with a slight hint of jealousy, envious of the time you are now spending with friends and associates, working as a team (or possibly on your own).  Make the most of it and try to take in what you can from the 'Great Sages' and do as you are told.  Believe it or not they will get the best out of you and you will produce work that you will be proud of by next May and you will have learned more than you think you ever could.


I sometimes think I need a little holographic Jamie on my desk just to give me a jolt once in a while, along with a Julia for when things get too much...
