For a look at three gardens in our village last June, type in living.stv.tv/105142-gorgeous-gardens-raising-cash-for-charity/ and click again (clumsy isn't it). There is a clip from a television programme which the Scotland's Gardens Scheme arranged to promote our Open Gardens days (this year on 26 and 27 June). It was a lot of fun, though right now we are looking at big patches of grass which have died out for no reason that we can fathom, and thinking, will it look OK by June? We're raking and seeding and wishing it would get warm enough for the seed to germinate.
This month's Coast magazine is also featuring the garden - all this fame!! The photographer who came to do it, Andrea Jones was lovely and it was fascinating to see the garden through another artist's eyes. And the writer Paula McWaters made me laugh with her punchy opening line 'What gets Freda up in the morning is the thought of Cedric Morris. Not the man, but the annual poppy that is named after him'.
Offering to open the garden to raise money for charity led to a lot of new things and new people in my life....
