Ehm, where is it?

It was on this morning around 9.30am, just turned it over and there it was. Usually I'd turn straight off but I loved it, so gentle and just nice.

Beechgrove garden is on BBC Scotland. The actual garden is near Aberdeen (used to be in the BBC studi grounds initially I believe). Broadcast on BBC2 on Sunday morning (Thursday evening I think in Scotland). It was on March - Sept time and now they're showing 'specials'. During lockdown they were doing the shows from their own gardens/allotments and having viewers send in clips about their efforts. Its an enjoyable program, catch up on iPlayer.

Must watch out for this as I do enjoy a bit of Gardner’s world but sometimes I look at whatever Monty is up to and think that it’s just not going to happen in my rain sodden neck of the woods!

You can also watch it in England! I also like that Scottish cooking programme with two men presenting. One of them is called Dougie and comes across a bit useless in a hapless uncle sort of way.

Think the other one is nick nairn?

I’ve been watching repeats of Escape to the Country. It’s very relaxing.

Yes I like that too. Also money for nothing and the repair shop.

Did he used to be on Ready, Steady, Cook! years ago?

I like Landward and Countryfile for the same reason Smile

Yez, he used to be a pop star! In Deacon Blue. You'll not know them if you're not Scottish, or young.

Also does The Adventure Show, another feel good/escapism prog.

Landward!

Dougie Vipond is the drummer in Deacon Blue also.

I wondered who Dougie was as he is not brilliant at the cheffing side of things to the untrained eye but he is nice.
