We have just spent a very pleasant afternoon showing the garden to Martin Ford of the Shropshire Star paper.  He had been here before when we were lucky enough to get to the semi final of the "Best Gardener in Shropshire" competition.  This time he is doing an article for the paper to appear on the Wednesday before we open for charity.  The sun shone and I have to say the garden had some of its best clothes on!  After tea and cakes ( got to bake many more cakes in the next few days) Martin left and the under gardener and I can rest easy, till tomorrow!
