For a while now I’ve been contemplating a regular video spot on GTNI but there have been a few factors holding me back. Primarily – time. But I’ve kept trying to source faster ways to do it and below is the result. It’s not completely polished and the sound is a little ordinary but I think I’m getting there.
Take a look and feel free to leave a response in the comments especially if you would like to see more of these and also what topics etc you would like to see.

The video is a great idea. Funny about the tulips.

I don’t play videos usually, I have the sound muted but I made an exception for you! Sorry I didn’t listen to it all, our broadband is slow and I’m too impatient! But it was nice to see and hear you, I am a great fan of Blotanical and appreciate all the time you put in. Hope you have lots of fun with video, I am sure lots of people will enjoy it. Best wishes Sylvia

Nice to meet ya, finally! You’re EVEN cuter than in your photos. Keep ‘em coming!

Thank you ladies for your comments – very complimentary! It is an interesting medium to use and does seem a little more personal than words on a page so I’m keen to explore how it might be useful in the future.
I hear you Sylvia. I’m amazed that you can traverse so well through Blotanical on low-speed broadband. Big Kudos. -
Well it’s about time!
I figured you’d get going with video eventually, very nice to see you taking the leap. I’ll look forward to more video posts.
Great job! -
Great idea. You are easy to listen to and make good eye contact with the camera.
Video would be useful for quick “how-to” demonstrations. You might want to get out of the office and get a more “garden-ish” type background. Perhaps you can set up a table/desk in your back yard for the tapings. -
Hi Stuart, I like the option of video and think that the right video can really be memorable for a reader. Similar to establishing your ‘writers voice’ with words I believe that, in time with practice, your video presentations will give us readers another view of who you are and that would be wonderful. Keep working on it and have fun.

It’s wonderful to hear your voice (that Aussie accent!) and see you “in person,” Stuart. You’re a busy man. I don’t know how you have time for it all, but keep up the good work.
Stuart, It was wonderful to hear your voice. A video is a great idea. Of course, we’d love to hear more!!
As far as the tulips go. I always have trouble with mismarked daylilies, but sometimes the error is a nice surprise.
