Hello Arthur, how you doing?

Hello, Sarah. I'm fine, thank you.

Good. Today, I actually thought we'd do a bit of a recap of what Arthur's up to

because it's interesting and it's nice to chat about things that are interesting. So he's on the move quite a lot

and so it's really difficult to work out how to put down roots and how to garden.

And one way that obviously he's done it is to have everything in pots, which we'll talk about

what's been really good for him this year in his pots.

But also he's actually rented a little bit of land, almost like an allotment, but it's not in

allotments.

So Arthur, will you tell us a little bit about, we'll come on to the pots at home inotment, but it's not in allotments. So Arthur, will you, will you tell us a little bit

about, we'll come on to the pots at home in a bit, but will you just tell me what led you

to rent this little bit of land? Well, I've ended up living in the part of the world that I never

thought I'd live in, which is Gloucestershire, GL7. And I first came here working for Emma, Emma Bridgewater, actually,

which was getting on in time. But I never, I never really, my heart didn't really leap out my chest

here, mainly because coming from Notting and where my family is, you know, around the corner from

one another, you get very used to that, you get very secure, knowing that. And it is also an incredibly social part of the world.
