Fellows Update

I bumped in to Sebastian the other day and mentioned that I was on the same forum as Adrian, his younger brother. He asked me to pass on best wishes, I know things have been a lttle fraught since Sebastians civil partnership,  believ their father refused to even atend. As most know Sebastian not only designs furniture but gardens too. He is having problems with his entry fo this years Chelsea flower show. Sebastians 'Fun Guy' garden comprising of over 300,000 stink horns or phallus impudicous to give the fungi its' latin name; the stinking mucus that coats the head of the toadstool attracts flies and bthis dark work that refers to the 1980s Gay Freedom era and questions our perceptions of sexuallity may be ruled out of the show. It's glory that I have been fortunate in having a hand in creating is like a mass rave of dark depravity yet may be excluded from contention. After the 'Floral Imorrall' works the organisers had expexted a more uplifting, less smelly work. Anyway, he sends his best to Adrian and hopes that his partner and legendary snooker star Neal shall be let in to the family Fould.
One can't help but feel that Fellows 'Fun 'Guy' garden is in some way an angry work that expresses he pain of social rejection and is as personal as it is political. There is, I elieve a Facebook campaign page to pressure Chelsea organisers to show this masterwork of thought and feeling. Arguably the morrality of Richard Mays Lego garden at last years show was permissiveness too far. Celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh, that writer of steamy novels has expressed his opposition to Fellows 'Fun Guy' garden and this has an overbaring influence on the organisers, his argument is that the piece is conceptual art and sould be shown in a different arena entirely. Fellows trademark is the breakig down of boundaries. 300,000 Stink Horns would steal the show and, I beliewve reveal the shallow pitch of Titchmarshes own work.
I also tackled Fellows on the contentious hellicopter incident that marred this years 'Secret Gathering'. His apologies were profuse and heartfelt. I sincerely believe, in his world, the choice of craft for travel is not hindered by finance and if he had thought it would appear in any way arogant he would have travelled by conventional meens. In truth, he had no option; the balloon he had intended to use had been saboutaged, slashed and pierced by, well, lets just say certain jealous mainstream forum members. More worryingly, his parachute straps had been severed. His private forensics team found no DNA yet small particles of india oilstone and parrafin suggest a woodworker of the old school, the contemporary authodoxy being waterstones, was responsible. It would be premature to point the finger at any suspected purpetrator of such a Savage act.
Fellows has more work on the go though please support 'Fun Guy', this garden of no flowers yet a stinking beauty is syre fire to expand the envelope odf gardening.
