Victoria Thompson - Yorkshire Gardening Blog

I left school at the age of 17 as I knew from early age all I wanted to be was a gardener/garden designer. Since leaving college I have worked on a number of landscaping projects within both private gardens and public parks. I spend my time volunteering in my local primary school garden, and in my own and relatives' gardens. I grow all the veg for the family and there's usually a bit left over for friends too!

Paul Goodison is a World number one Laser sailor, an Olympic Gold medallist, European and British Champion. The Laser is one of the two single handed dinghies which are sailed at the Olympics by men, the second being the Finn dinghy which triple Olympic Gold medallist Ben Ainslie now sails. Ben was an inspiration to Paul whilst he was growing up but soon the pair became friends and rivals.
