    What a wonderful woman and a wonderful garden! I enjoyed this tour of the garden with you and your mum so much.
    My own mum and grandmother were my gardening inspirations too. Mum passed away earlier this year at the age of 83. Even after 11 heart attacks, 3 strokes and numerous other health problems, she continued working in her own small garden with absolutely no help. Her garden was her pride and joy and very much her “Happy Place”. It was only a badly broken ankle, that refused to heal, that finally prevented her from gardening or even getting out into her garden during the last 7 months of her life. Miss her so much! Savour every moment you have with your amazing mum in this fabulous “Happy Place”.

    I'm a little behind, obviously, as this video is 12 months old. Really enjoy your mother's garden it's delightful. I was curious where abouts it was in the county, and then you mention "popping" to Tom and Abby's so I suspect you're not too far from there. That gives me a reasonable idea, as I'm in Cumbria too it's nice to see a mature garden which can go e meca clue as to what will do well in my own, especially as I'm very much a novice. However, if you are close to Tom and Abby you're in southern climes compared to us stop the M6 lol
