@Fran IOM thank you for your very kind comments. I did actually take part in the GW video challenge but I was spurned! No cute kids and no recycled yoghurt pots was my dilemma! @Fire your comments made my day, thank you. I’m not really called Ben Cotto, that’s just a joke I have with an Italian friend. If I get a tricky piece of Italian right he always says “Well done”. If he does the same in English I say “Ben Cotto” which means well done but for a steak, literally well cooked. But to be mentioned in the same sentence as Beth Chatto really is an honour.
Adam Frost does indeed live quite close by. However just a hundred yards down the road, and I like to say is a friend of mine, is one of the regular panellists on GQT and a very well known gardening writer and designer. Beth Chatto, incidentally, was his mentor.
