One day I WILL visit Sissinghurst Castle. Even though it’s now owned by the National Trust!!!

Years ago the BBC filmed a lovely series with Sarah Raven and her husband.

BBC : Sissinghurst

I devoured every episode. Even knowing (and Sarah admitted this in the show) that their family were “allowed” to live in this castle and farm this garden for a short while because the BBC/National Trust were making a programme/advert for Adam’s Rightful Family Home.

If you can find the 8 episodes, they are a gardening/cooking/beautiful home treat.

P.S……
