Novovision qp CI Feb25.indd 1 WWW.CASINOINTERNATIONAL-ONLINE.COM Editor’s comment


It’s petrifying, isn’t it? Garden Centres… They creep up on you when you least expect it. Garden Centres…


There you are, happily perusing the succulents, when out of nowhere… a reindeer!


Garden centres; that’s what I’m talking about (in case you hadn’t ‘guessed’).


They don’t appear to care what time of year it is (the end of August, for instance); as far as they are concerned, it’s Christmas already (oh, and apparently at exactly the same time as Halloween). It’s bonkers. The kids haven’t even got their new pencil cases out, and already the garden centres are covering their displays in toxic pretend snow and shouting “HO HO HO!” at you while you shuffle round in your Crocs and shorts wondering what to put on the BBQ this afternoon. I even managed to drop a pork chop and an attractive fern when a giant skeleton shouted at me over some pumpkins covered in Santa’s elves. It’s a properly confusing time. No wonder kids cry all the time.


Anyway, that’s my way of saying “Crikey! Hasn’t the year gone by quickly!” (which, on reflection, I could have just said 180 words ago).


So… the year then. Blimey. Spring, Summer, and now this bag of poop that is Autumn (or Fall, if you’re a long way from me). I know it’s nearly time to start avoiding my family (also known as Christmas) because the flatplan for the magazine suddenly fills up with G2E Preview pages. I shan’t be attending the show this year, instead ‘saving myself’ for the 2026 edition. Which, all things being equal, will probably be celebrated by the garden centres in November this year, with summer arriving in February of 2026, and Christmas arriving in August, just before G2E 2026. Anyway, as I was saying…


Garden Centres. Goodbye.
