Roland is my great grandfather on my mothers side, he passed shortly before I was born so I never had the chance to meet him, I look for this doc every few years so I can re-learn a little about him. I think I would have liked him.

Beautiful video. I love how so many of the gardeners are retired and refused to just sit on their butts. They kept working. They created something, most or all of which is probably gone now, but they did it. They brought beauty into the world, if only for a moment.

What a lovely documentary! I managed to find some of these homes on Google maps but sadly the gardens are now bare. The gatehouse property looks like someone lives there but it’s all just grass and no plants 🙁 The house with the garden that the lady extended to the pavement is no longer as in the video; the plants at the front have disappeared and it’s looking slightly unkempt now. I adore cottage gardens and I always try to keep my garden looking pretty with perennial flowers and roses too🌹

I have been looking too, I remember watching this a long time ago and loved it. The house with the Shell Garden looks like a bombsite, the shells all gone and packed with cars, Mr Buxton-Deans castle garden has all gone, just the middle wall still exisits. I noticed there are still some plants there which the lady who climbed over the church wall planted, the conifers are much bigger now. It is good there are still a few of us keeping up the gardening tradition! 🙂

@@vitkriklan2633 Quite simple. He pushed forward his attempt on setting up camps despite there being a massive amount of new snow in the previous couple of days. He seemed in a rush and despite other members of his team telling him of the avalanche risks he ploughed on. As a direct result the lives of 7 porters were lost. If you do your research and read the bountiful literature out there you will surely come to the same conclusion. History has put people like Mallory and Scott on such high pedestals, however when you research what these people did and the risks they took not only on themselves but others then you will see that they were, in a word, gamblers. These people were undoubtably brave, but so were the countless others that didn't throw there lives away and make themselves "glorious hero's" So I stand by my comment - Mallory was Stupid in gambling away the lives of 7 Tibetan Porters.
