18th May on TV

Post by Grant Bowie »

Hi all,

We had the ABC Gardening Australia crew in filming the collection for a segment in an upcoming program about Canberra; including the national Arboretum Canberra and the NBPCA.

That would make me literally a "Barbarian" so I would not do it; also being a beard wearer myself for the last 35 years.

Do they ABC at the hotel Grant as we will be in Canberra that weekend. Will have to learn how to preprogramme the new PVR. The old one blew its fuses last week.

I have a short beard myself - but whenever he is on Gardening Australia it's like the hair has a life of it's own :palm: I find it very distracting :shake: I preferred Peter or even Steven to the beard with legs :whistle:
