    So do any of you like visiting gardens?

    I do sometimes as it gives good ideas, but for me a good garden should tick 4 boxes being; sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing, so all 5 senses activated and of course at the end - a nice cream tea or Victoria sponge.

    So yesterday I went to the famous Beth Chatto’s garden, which is what it is in January, loads of snowdrops, the odd daffodil and hellebores. But my taste and hearing senses weren’t activated. At the end at 1:30 sold out of scones and no Victoria sponge.

    I was disappointed, nor blown way.
