As many of you will know, I do a lot of travelling with the business. Occasionally, when time permits, I like to make a detour to see a garden or to catch up with a contact.
  
Well, on today's run around the Cotswolds, I bumped into two old friends from the antiques trade. They went on to invite me around their garden to see something they thought I might be interested in...
  
  
Put it this way, it turned out to be an expensive 'hello'!
