Following the success of the Winter Lunch in 2022, we have decided to repeat the format of a film and lunch, in Hoby Village Hall, catered by Mrs Bridges.
10.45 am Doors open
11.15 am – 12.45pm Showing of the film
1.00 pm Lunch (There will be no bar service, but you are welcome to bring your own drinks.)
If you do not wish to see the film, it would be appreciated if you did not arrive before the end of the film at 12.45 approx.
The film: ‘The Gardener’ continuing our feel good films with a gardening theme.
It is spring, apparently. And for those whose only evidence of this most hopeful of seasons so far is the odd foolhardy daffodil peeking out from a pocket of stubborn grey snow, here is “The Gardener,” an almost indecently luscious-looking, summertime tour of one of the great private gardens of the world: Francis “Frank” Cabot’s 20-acre Quatre Vents, in Quebec. The pictures, shot by director Sébastien Chabot, truly do gladden the wintry heart with their explosions of colour and life: Blowsy delphiniums, speckled astrantias, and bursting red poppies nestle in spectacular array near picturesque rope bridges and placid Japanese teahouses built over seven years without the use of a single nail. However, Chabot’s film is not “The Garden,” but “The Gardener” and as a portrait of the man behind Quatre Vents, unlike the gorgeous flora, it never blossoms.
The food: to be finalised
