Mount Etna let’s off steam!

Posted by admin on 06 Jan 2012 / 0 Comment


At 5.30am on the last of my 3 day tagging trip, mount Etna decided to erurpt for 2 hours.  The 12km wide and 3.3km high volcano sent a plume of ash over 5km straight up into the dawn sky.  Apparently this happens usually twice a year.

Still sitting at Catania airport waiting for my flight to Milan and then onto Heathrow.  At the moment, after crisis meetings, the airport is still open so that should avoid a 5 day drive home, touch wood!
All buying completed including some unexpected larger bonus plants for 2 of our 4 Chelsea gardens.

Also, our first order put together for the retail section which we open on April 1st- all very exciting.
