Thank God for Monty Don

[Parkandride]

He's exactly what I need in these strange times, so calming
Plus he has a new dog!

Oh I love Monty! The new dog is not for me, I'm a Nigel fan until I die.

Loads of members of gardener’s world on facebook feel the same way. I’ve taped it and will watch it when I have a chance

You need to see Stanley Tucci making a cocktail to be really thankful!

Nothing has happened to Nigel though, has it?!
I have taped tonight’s episode and will watch over the weekend. Monty and Longmeadow are the antidote to all your weeks problems.
Although Stanley Tucci making cocktails is very good too, I’ve watcehd it 3 times,

Don’t tell me the lovely retriever passed away? Is it another retriever he’s got?

No he had three dogs running about. I think the new one is a Yorkie.

He still has both retrievers don't worry! A new puppy as well, a Yorkshire terrier I think?

He's got such a lovely voice!

Ahhhh happy days

Amen to that!

@Whatevah I haven't heard that for ages did you actually tape it? Kind of suits monty don if you did:)

I prefer Adam and his cat. There is no way that furry monster was planning on eating anything when he jumped up to see the new tray being filled with compost.

It really calmed me down tonight.

It's now the Nellie, Nigel and Patty show, with input from Monty Don. Patty is definitely a Yorkie.

Just reinstated my TV licence and watched it on iplayer tonight while exercising. Probably first time I’ve seen it since living with my mum many years ago. Very comforting and made me feel much less worried about my very amateur, on a budget, gardening skills.

I do not have a garden, but religiously watchMonty
and his dogs because I find it relaxing.

I've just read Monty's book 'Nigel: My Family & Other Dogs'

I love GW and all the pets. I'm also a fan of Countryfile, living in Zone 2 an' all

I love Monty. And Nigel and Nellie. I’ve not watched tonight yet, so not seen the new puppy.

@inwood, as soon as I used ‘taped’ I thought it amusing. It just shows we are of a certain age! (It’s recorded on the sky box)

I still say taped it when I mean it's on the Sky box!
I get ASMR from Gardeners' World . All those crackly leaves and the shushy noise of compost moving.

I love Monty. Always have. Always will. 💕💕💕
Him and his furries are the perfect antidote to Corona induced angst.

Meant to say his gardening books are brilliant too. They always tell you exactly what you need to know.

I preferred Adam and his cat too, MitziK.

Rachel's cat was there in a recent programme
