When I bought Bolands seven years ago it was a very dilapidated
smallholding with around 3 acres of ground.                                     
Horses grazed up to the bungalow windows and had eaten out the  roof  beams in the out buildings.
The only cultivated plants were a Bramley Apple tree and a Flowering Cherry.
Slowly, over time, I am restoring the garden and buildings , with a lot of help from good friends!!
