Local Hero

At the Chelsea Flower Show today, amazing and beautiful things to see. Our tiny area of East Devon can boast of several local businesses displaying there. Garden statues from Robert James workshop and beautifully handmade garden swingseats from Sitting Spiritually.

But our best moment came with a visit to the Gold Award winning Waterscape garden to meet up with Hugo Bugg the youngest ever Gold medalist at Chelsea. Hugo and our Lucy went to school together until they were seven and we've been family friends ever since. Hugo very kindly invited us into the garden (public not allowed !) and talked us through his design. Considering how many people (including film crews !) were clamouring for his attention it was very generous of him. The garden was beautiful and clever and rather inspiring and full of lovely irises. Very very well done Hugo !
