Tim, 
My husband and I accompanied Martin Rickard, president of the British
Pteridological Soc. to Glanleam last Saturday. We saw some wonderful ferns,
some which caused great excitement, but the garden is only a shadow of it's
former self. The awful storm of Christmas 1997/8 did so much damage that it
will take some time, money and care to return it to the wonderful garden it
was. Many Myrtles still stand, alongside Cyatheas and Dicksonias but fallen
trees have taken their toll.
