..I can also recommend episode 7 from Cragside, Northumberland.... much less buffoonery...this was actually very good I felt... whoever knew that Jekyll designed a little garden on Lindisfarne...?..well, I didn't for one...
...Christine isn't my style...but this programme I found quite fascinating...
I thought it could do without the little gift at the end, but saying that, it was good to see the craftsmen/women making said gift. Don't forget she did teach for a few years so its quite possible that she taught a fair few people she meets in the gardens she visits. I will keep watching.
It's so refreshing to see a woman like Christine who is very 'real' and so dedicated and passionate. Not a stick thin, 20-something, makeup laden, product of the media. If only there were more like her on the telly box. Christine is a refreshing joy.
I'm enjoying every moment of this series. It gives me a chance to see so much of your wonderful gardens from all angles, that I sadly can't come and see in person. For all her masculine ways, Christine comes across as a very kind and thoughtful person and her enthusiasm is second to none.
So nice to have someone on tv who doesn't appear to have had cosmetic surgery or wear loads of make up and clothes dictated by a stylist. Just being an ordinary person on tv seems to make one extra-ordinary these days.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
The most endearing bit so far is Christine having difficulty getting up from playing toy boats. I now take a little stool round the garden with me to help me up when necessary. So many of us gardeners are elderly or disabled or both these days. I have a fb friend who only has two fingers and lots more to contend with and her tips on coping are invaluable, eg the stool.
