NGS Evening at Hazelby House June 2019

The NGS Party at Hazelby House

The NGS held a marvellous party at Patrick and Gabby Hungerford's Hazelby House on a beautiful June evening. I had not seen the garden before but was astonished at its perfection. The photos can attest that there wasn't a leaf out of place and there was superb garden statuary and sculpture to make even Travers Nettleton weep.

Beryl Williams 1949 - 2020



Beryl Williams was a dear friend for thirty years, who I got to know from the days when she managed a shop in the Royal Exchange to her life in Fethiye (Turkey) to which she emigrated in 2004 to ease her MS. She was a wise, bright and beautiful soul, and leaves a loving family of her daughter Amanda and Kirsty and son Paul and their offspring, as well as Peter, a former London insurance broker who she lived (and sailed) with for the last 12 years.
