I was really amazed to find such perfect little gardens all within a stones throw of my own. All hidden behind small unasuming frontages - what magic was behind the facade! What wonderful gardens ... the tea and cakes were suberb too!


All proceeds to St Nicholas Church for the installation of the new organ and also to the Keep The Heart In Our High Street Campaign.

Secret Gardens


Village Life

(Part 1)


My little village church needs a new organ. Cleverly some local ladies organised a fund raising event, which was a delight. Twelve local gardeners were persuaded to open their little London gardens for all to see, for just a small charge. There was tea and cakes too - always a tantalising draw on a sunny afternoon! These are some of the pics I took on my afternoon walk  ...
