Surely £9.50 is a misprint from that company for 10 ?
Having said that, I just looked at her website and it is clear that just
about everything is way, way overpriced.
Goodness me! How DO they get away with it.

The power of television, Baz!


She's on television? I've never heard of her.

If you've seen a woman gardening in a skirt and buttoned knee boots,
you've seen her. She has appeared on gardening programmes and her
husband's grandmother was Vita Sackville West. He is Adam Nicolson.
His grandparents owned Sissinghurst and I believe he and Sarah live in
part of it - may be wrong on that. There was a tv programme which
partly involved her trying to redirect the general thrust of the
Sissinghurst's National Trust restaurant's food. Sarah Raven is a very
well known tv gardener who was a doctor by training. She's what I
think might be called a 'driven person'. I'm not at one with her
marketing style but nobody could fail to admire her determination to
make something out of what they live in and need to make work, imo.
