A sundial on the front of Pettifers Garden Flat, Wardington. Dated 2012 (MMXII), the dial has a blue face with gilded roman numerals, and a crest in the centre.
Behind the house are Pettifers gardens -
"In the summer of 84 James and I moved to Pettifers, where the garden of 1 and a half acres was waiting for us. Initially we began ploughing the land down the bottom, laying out the par terre, and learning as I went along.
Influenced by Dianey Binney of Kiftsgate, I made my borders wider and wider. She, and her sister Betsy, came over to criticise and advise. By the time they died my style was changing. Out went a lot of roses and shrubs, and larger drifts of plants evolved. In went grasses. My borders have to look good from April to November. Now I am paying attention to winter."
