Hello Sacha,
Have just come across the article on Hill House Nursery in the July
RHS "The Garden" magazine. I must try to ensure that my wife doesn't
see it otherwise she'll be off down the A303/38 like a rocket, but I
suspect it will be a losing battle.
As I've been away for a couple of weeks it may be that this has
already been the subject of an earlier thread; if so, please excuse me.
Congratulations to you, Ray and Matthew! It's a very interesting
article with beautiful illustrations and Hill House looks absolutely
super. Obviously Roy Lancaster was greatly enamoured of it. I suspect
your tea sales may increase accordingly :-))

Thank you very much! We had the proof of the article a couple of weeks
ago but only got the magazine yesterday. Obviously, we're absolutely
delighted with all Roy's complimentary remarks and certainly as he left
he said he'd fallen in love with the place - very gratifying from such
a source! You mentioning the tea room reminds me that on the day Roy
came last June, he brought with him a photographer and features editor
and of course, we planned to give them lunch in the tea room. It was
so crowded and the nursery so busy that day that we had to eat in our
kitchen. But several of our customers had a very pleasant surprise
when they saw Roy strolling around. He's a very warm personality and a
passionate plantsman. We liked him enormously.
Tell your wife to let me know when she's on her way and don't come when
we're away in early July, will you! ;-)

There is absolutely zero chance of her coming on her own! Otherwise it
could be a dangerously expensive trip :-))
