The Giant's Garden at Elford
Early on the morning of Tuesday 10th. September 2013, I drove up to the village of Elford to re-vist their Walled Garden.
I captured this video of The Giant's Garden to share this pleasant experience. Belatedly, I added a piece of music to acompany this video on 14th. May 2014. It is a fine piece by Topher Moore titled HORSES TO WATER & I can almost imagine The Giant stomping along his Garden!

The Shrub Rose Garden at Elford 2014
I am still in awe of the sheer beauty of The Shrub Rose Garden at Elford Hall Walled Garden & could not resist capturing this video yesterday, Friday 30th. May 2014. It features the truly gorgeous Roses looking resplendent after one the mildest Springs in England for decades. I chose a fine rendition of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to accompany this video & hope that you enjoy the finished effort.

Simply The Best in Elford Hall Garden 2014
England may not be too good at Football these days, but I drove up to Elford Hall Garden on Thursday morning 19th June 2014 to calm my nerves & sat in the Rose Garden & admired the sheer beauty of the Shrub & Hybrid Tea Roses this Summer. I have just rescued a small patch of garden at my new home, from Thistles & rampant weeds & a sad little rose that had been neglected for years responded to pruning, feeding & watering & beautiful burnt orange blooms that last for a week or more were my reward. I didn't know the name of that rose, until this week when I spied it amongst the plethora of roses at Elford. I make no apologies for uploading yet another video featuring Elford, as I am sure that any gardeners out there would appreciate the devotion expended by the Villagers to result in a superb Walled Garden. The lovely piece of music accompanying this video is by Hokanson, Leonard Villa Musica Ensemble & is a Classical movement by Schubert titled Die Forelle Piano Quintet in A Major. Op. 114 D 667, otherwise known as The Trout. I do hope that you enjoy the completed video.

Superb Weeping Beech Tree - St. Peter's Elford
Description
This year has been very fruitful at Elford Walled Garden, so I made a fruit crumble & took it to share after a Baptismal service at St. Peter's Church in Elford. After the service I could not resist capturing this video featuring a superb Weeping Beech Tree in Autumnal colours & I chose Beethoven's Fur Elise to accompany it.
Money Money Money - The Ronaldos at Elford 2015
After a fine night out at The Tamworth Assembly Rooms on Friday 1st. May 2015, where I met THE RONALDOS for the first time, I bought their album PICK IT UP on leaving & played most of it through the night. I just love their version of this Classic ABBA track & it brought it home to me, just how they, I & my two sons in Nottingham, both struggling Musicians, could all do with a bit of money. I am not being sacrilegious, capturing this video outside a favourite Church of mine in the early hours of Saturday 2nd May, St. Peter's in Elford, where I find much peace of mind, but every Church I've been into, here in The Heart of England, also badly need MONEY, to repair fabric, help folks & I also need to buy a plot in St. Peter's Graveyard, when I peg it, as my family will struggle to pay, even though They worship the ground I will be buried under! LOL

The Elford Victorian Wall Garden Project Demo that I filmed edited and produced on DVD in 2006
Back in late 2006 and not long before I moved to Canada Dick my buddy Cowley asked me if I would film, edit and produce a dvd to promote awareness of the Elford Victorian Wall Gardens project to send to the UK Lottery commission with a view to obtaining a grant to complete the project... I did the dvd and it was sent off resulting in a grant and the subsequent completion of this wonderful project.... I am so proud of this achievement and so happy all the hard work Dick Cowley and his team put in paid off.... Elford is beautiful folks....
