NO I’m not RHS trained (wish I was) and NO I don’t have a background in horticulture nor am I a botany geek! I definately do not have a reliance on any intoxicating substances LOL but I’m known to enjoy a cold glass of something on sunny days – which are far and few between so that statement is incorrect. I’ll have a tipple with anyone who is warm and friendly and on days when it’s overcast or raining ; )
