❀ ❀ events and there was some
romance that came with the idea of having Agatha Christie watching over us. Providing she promised no murders.
I received an enthusiastic email back from Belinda Smith – head of visitor services across the Torbay properties – saying that they would love to help out and would Nick and I like to arrange to look around all three potential sites; Greenway, Brownstone Farm and Coleton Fishacre? We would. We met Belinda on a bitter December morning – she had battled through snow drifts to get to us – and donned our walking boots to survey the possibilities. WOW. Is all I can say – we were spoiled for choice. Should we go for the elegance of the croquet lawn at Coleton; the breathtaking views of the rolling Devon hills from Brownstone; or the secrecy of the walled garden at Greenway? They were all great options and we were left reeling. It took at night of sleeping on it to resolve that it
was Coleton we wanted. I remember mum and dad taking me there as a little girl – and complaining bitterly when this involved walking there from Kingswear along the coast path – eating Salcombe Dairy ice cream from the cafe, watching the water pouring through the landscaped channels into the pool of Koi carp and being very happy. Where better to get married than somewhere you have such memories? We told Belinda that we’d decided on our patch of grass and all was settled. Still no roof arranged but we have to take these things in our stride – Nick’s attitude to life and love is clearly wearing off on me 8 years down the line.....
