In other news, I was quite pleased with the #cricket today. Though even as a #Durham fan, I felt a bit sorry for #Gloucestershire, having won the toss and put the visitors in to bat, only for them to end the day on 456 for 2, with one of the openers hitting an unbeaten double century.

Delighted to have two very different articles in these two great magazines this week.

In Amateur Gardening, I’m talking to Norfolk Lavender about how to grow this summer favourite.

In Garden News,I’m finding out how gardening is a sanctuary for the owner of a Gloucestershire garden that opens for the National Harden Scheme.

In the #Cotswolds are the quintessentially English villages known as ‘The Slaughters’ (Upper & Lower) & are exceptionally attractive. This circular walk starts at Naughton with its 16th Century dovecote & traverses pretty countryside.

🏥Standish Hospital (Gloucestershire, England) This abandoned hospital had an impressive collection of peeling paint!

Some history. Once a 16th-century country house, Standish Hospital evolved through major medical eras. It treated 2,000 soldiers during WWI and later became a TB sanatorium.

After 1947, it served the NHS as a specialist chest hospital before closing in 2004.

It was demolished a few years ago.
