Can you believe it, we are fast approaching the end of the month with the clocks going back on the 27th. Working days in the garden will be much shorter days and the weather is inevitably going to get much colder. Are you prepared? I think I am well ahead of the game, fortunately! Fingers crossed.
The hard job for me in recent weeks has been the need to try and extend the garden's summer life right into the autumn. In late September, I was contacted by a television production company, on behalf of one of the major TV channels, seeking to allow them to use my garden for some filming! As part of the new programme being made, a designer visits beautiful and unique gardens where they gather inspiration to incorporate into their own garden designs for the homeowners involved in the TV project. Through their research they found Driftwood and thought it would be perfect inspiration for a seaside garden that is being designed.
At first, I worried the garden had gone over and was going to decline the request but they asked me to take some film and I sent it over to them, which sealed the deal, as they said yes, they would still like to film here. Decision made, it has been hard work getting it the best I can possibly make it under the circumstances. More on this next near when the programme hopefully airs, as I’m sworn to secrecy! Hector, our beloved tortoise, went for his annual check-up at a local clinic last week and is now about to go into hibernation for the winter.
