9 axes Backyard Blitz

Another dream drifts away.

I’ve never really watched much of Backyard Blitz but there was always the hope, a very distant hope, that one day Jamie Durie and the gang would turn up at our place and turn our backyard into a garden paradise.

That hope is now dashed with the announcement that Channel 9 has decided to axe the show. A strange decision you’d think, considering that it was still pulling in a considerable audience and won a logie this year.

Oh well, we’ll continue to be content with the wilderness that awaits outside our back door. I wish I was a gardner but I’m just not wired that way. I can appreciate a nice garden but creating one is a very different story.

Mind you, if the Backyard Blitz team is looking for something to do now that their show’s been canned, they’re more than welcome to drop over.
