Beautiful Hints

Previous years, at this time, we’d be off camping in the New Forest. But, with County election pending, this year it’s leaflet delivering, postering and generally getting ready for the 4th June.

All very necessary but the lack of camping brought with it a very pleasant benefit too. And that was visiting the annual Open Gardens at Hints Village in between Lichfield and Tamworth. And by far the hottest day of the year brought with it the village gardens on display at their very best and, according to organisers, the biggest turnout of visitors ever.

It was absolutely marvellous and a wonderful atmosphere. Several gardens were breathtaking and all were resplendent in the glorious sunshine but what really struck Cath and I were the stunning views of the countryside surrounding Hints from almost every garden on display.

It really is a beautiful village.
