I’m also fond of collecting stamps. At present, I have got about six hundred stamps. Would you like to tell me something about yourself and your hobbies?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

M: Mrs Whinfield, thank you very much for allowing me to visit your wonderful garden. It really helps mea lot to write an article on Dorset gardens for our paper. Now I wonder of I could ask you a few questions?
W: Yes, sue.
M: Could you tell me when you became interested in gardening?
W: Well, I was always interested in wild flowers and then in 1980 I read Margery Fish’s book Cottage Garden Flowers, which is full of practical advice and personal opinions. But I was reading about plants that I didn’t know, so I started to read as much as I could and get different writers’ advice. I also used to visit Kew Garden a lot. That was when we lived in Harrow, West London, I learned a lot from my visits. By the way, Dorset is one of England’s three most beautiful towns, the other two being Wiltshire and Somerset. You must know that. I’m often invited to give talks to biology students in colleges.
M: Yes, certainly. That’s why I came here. Mm, now what was your first garden like?
W: It was a very tiny piece of land, which came with my house in Harrow, Western London.
M: Do you grow many plants yourself?
W: I don’t grow many plants from seed. But I have several friends and we often give each other plants. My garden is a place which often reminds me of so many people through the plants they’ve given me.
