And Arthur and I thought, because it's December the 29th, we would chat about our New Year's resolutions.

And I know that's a bit of a cliche in a way,

but I think it's quite good to stand back, review what's gone,

and think what can be better and more optimistic.

And I've certainly made a list of three things that I'd really like to chat through,

and I'm sure Arthur has two.

So welcome, Arthur. Lovely to see you. Hello. I'd love like to chat through and I'm sure Arthur has two. So welcome

Arthur. Lovely to see you. Hello. Love to see you too. So do you want to start?

Well, the thing that I do deliberately, because I find them so helpful to get through winter

and they almost bring spring and summer to the fore is is sowing sweet

peas and I think one resolution I'm going to say is this year I really want to grow things

that make me smile and make me feel what that gardening is such a wonderful thing rather than

looking at anything that is either tricky or sulky.

And for me, sweet peas, they are a fath, but in a way, I love the rituals that they

impose on you as a gardener and the reward that you get, the scent and the cutting.

There's nothing lovelier. So this year, I've sown more sweet peas than last year.
