The only jarring note was the comment on Christopher Lloyd's sexual inclinations which are of absolutely no importance whatsoever in the context of his garden. This is shaping up to be very good indeed. Sasha , those of us who enjoy your contributions will have no doubts about the direction of your "sexual inclinations" unless you have been using an elaborate code. The programme looked at Great Dixter in terms of Christopher Lloyd's character. Being gay is one significant aspect of that. As the programmes develop I would bet that there will be no doubt of the heterosexuality of most of the garden makers. You think his garden was somehow affected or defined by his sexuality - or vice versa? I can't agree with that. Fergus, who now runs the garden is married heterosexually. Better than anyone els, he knows what that garden means, what it 'does', how it works but is not gay. He's just amazingly good at what he does, as was Mr Lloyd. I don't think anyone's sexuality has anything to do with me or anyone else, be it their garden, their drawing room, their bathroom or their toothpaste of choice. It is totally irrelevant in terms of 'need to know'. All we 'need to know' is that they garden well or not. I detest the fact that sexuality seems to come into every report, conversation or summation nowadays. Interesting that you spell my name with the female variant, however, while I am a hetero female who doesn't. ;-) Oops sorry Sacha. - but in a way that just goes to show about assumptions. Will revealing sexuality be less problematic when in the form of a casual reference to his husband or her wife ? Clearly reference to his wife, her husband is totally acceptable. Regards Paul |

To me, that remark was all just part of the prurient interest the media seems to encourage in others' sex lives! Good programme nonetheless, really good and we're looking forward to the next in that series. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
