Invitation to the Japanese Embassy

Post by George Nesfield »

Hi,
My wife and I have just been invited to the Japanese Embassy in London to a lecture and demonstration on Japanese garden design by three Japanese designers who won prizes at the Chelsea Flower Show 2007 followed by a drinks reception, so we are looking forward to a nice day out on thursday the 27th September.

Hi sam,
We are going down to London next Wednesday and coming back on Friday so she will have plenty of time for tea but maybe not at the Ritz. :roll:

Wow! What a treat that will be. Surely a once in a lifetime experience I would say. Hope you and your wife have a great time. Glad you'll tell us all about it. Will be watching for your post :wink:.
