How we managed to keep it a secret from Otto for the past few months still amazes me!
Otto was most surprised when his name was announced  - but I checked that Viv who was sitting next to him had her CPR skills up-to-date ;D
It was good to celebrate with him and the rest of the FCHS on sucha special day.
cheers

I,m touched by all your good wishes  -thank you all very much .  It came as a complete surprise -but I know there are other gardeners here who are just as deserving of this award as myself .
