There are at least half a dozen mature hazelnut clumps. One or two have already been cut right back and any good stems stored away to use as pea and bean supports in the summer. I must say that the borders look better already and definitely less congested although seven huge plants are about five too many. A Lonicera nitida hedge has been pulled out as it was as good as dead and perfect for the basis of a first bonfire. Lonicera, if kept under control, it is a fast growing alternative hedging plant but it soon topples over if left to its own devices and becomes unwieldy and ugly. Give me a native hedge any day – think of the advantages for wildlife. An overgrown rambling rose has had dead wood taken out so far but, as it is growing just by the one and only seating area, it may be replaced unless it is particularly fragrant or beautiful. Bath Stone walls on one side of the garden aren’t improved by having a couple of very elderly tree peonies looking very tired and soggy leaning against them. There’s not much else there but what fun they’ll have ‘clothing’ this wall and perhaps doing away with the narrow border at its base. But as there are some bulbs poking through as we speak, there may be something there that is worth hanging on to, so it’s worth waiting to find out. And then we come to the buddleias. They really do self sow like mad. Think of all the ones we see from the train on the way into London. As they are a great source of nectar for butterflies, it is great to have one or two in a garden but perhaps where their height fits in with everything else. Cut them back in late February/ early March so that they’ll be flowering as the butterflies emerge. There is a laurel hedge that hides the pub garden next door – the house is wedged between an ancient church on one side and an ancient pub on the other! The Packhorse Inn dates from circa 1498 but was rebuilt in the 17th century. It closed in 2012 when its owner intended to change it into flats. The villagers had other thoughts, managing to raise over a million pounds from 430 investors to buy back the pub. It reopened as a community pub four years later having been totally renovated. The garden alone took 1,000 hours of volunteer help to landscape and it seems that 25 tonnes of earth was shifted by hand! But back to the laurel hedge. Laurel is one of my least favourite plants and, as we know, is used as instant evergreen planting on new developments everywhere we turn. At the moment this one is too tall for its space, but bearing in mind that it is affording privacy from the pub garden, a couple of feet off the top in late spring will improve things – unless there are nesting birds in there which will mean that it can’t be touched until July. And finally, on wet or frosty days what better way is there to spend your time than peering through gardening catalogues and perhaps ordering a few dahlias and flowers for this season’s cutting garden. Have you seen the choice of cosmos there is now? So deliciously pretty.

The collection of the late Sir Nicholas Goodison includes hundreds of traditional mechanical and hand-operated automatons and commercial toys dating from the 1950s onwards. Their ingenious design and witty characteristics will delight young and old alike, and the collection gives a valuable snapshot into one key aspect of the history of toy making. The other collection is the Vater collection, put together by Robert G. and Ilse Vater in the 20th century. It is an important and wide-ranging academic collection of European ceramics, which includes representative examples from many of the key manufactories and pottery centres from as far back as the Renaissance, right through to the early 19th century. roseberys.co.uk MUSIC & THEATRE Sat 11 February G Live, London Road, Guildford GU1 2AA PRUE LEITH – NOTHING IN MODERATION In Prue’s frank, revealing and very funny all-new show, she shares fascinating anecdotes from her colourful life, all told for the very first time.
