Thank you, Lynda

I love your love affair with miniature roses (February). I have been besotted with these tiny beauties for well over 30 years and as you can see, many of your favourites are mine too. Thank you for showing your special way of displaying them, I wondered what I was going to do with this heart-shaped plate! Brenda Marshall. Feilding

It was lovely to read the article about Totara Estate (November). A beautiful story about food providing a connection to the past, present and future. I purchased a paeony tuber from Putiputi Rau this year called ‘Alison Albiston’ so it’s good to put a face to the name!
