What a wonderful event Knebworth Twinning Association’s Open Gardens Day was on the beautiful sunny day that was Sunday 11th June. Our village looked its very best, and the love and hard work that had demonstrably gone into all of the beautiful gardens on display was inspirational and, no better word for it, awesome. Stepping behind the houses of Knebworth, and feeling the breadth and greenery of our village it is reassuringly clear that in the great majority of our neighbourhoods we remain the Garden Village that we were originally intended to be.
Thank you to all who opened their gardens and thank you to the KTA for organising such an inspirational afternoon. By the time you read this, the next KTA event will be me – current KTA President – giving a talk on the evening of Thursday 6th July in Knebworth House’s Banqueting Hall. I can promise a beautiful setting, but not that a lifelong teetotaller talking about beer will hold up to Open Gardens Day in awesomeness. But we’ll have some fun, and some laughs, talking Cobbold Ales & Tales… which I promise will cover a number of subjects of interest other than beer. Ask Agatha Christie, you don’t need to commit murder to write about it. Nor do you need to drink beer to talk about it. In fact, in both cases, it’s really rather better not to do either prior to speaking in public about it.
Tickets are available via KTA’s Facebook page or by emailing knebworthtwinning@gmail.com.
