My first visit to the plot of land in September 2009. A walled garden left neglected for at least five years. At approximately one fifth of an acre it was originally the kitchen garden for Belmont House built in 1795. Five apple trees and one pear tree were found amongst the jungle of overgrown grasses, weeds and brambles. The vendor was not cooperative and so Mariette and I declined the purchase.
