💚💚@inigo.house. Posted @withrepost • @inigo.house We visited some pretty special places this year, peeping through the proverbial keyhole to give you a glimpse of the finest design and interiors in the land. Among those we spoke to was Nigel Slater, the cook who writes, the writer who cooks. They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but Nigel proved the exception to the rule. We stopped by his north London garden in the summer, shortly after the RHS Flower Show. His hedges were due their annual “Chelsea Chop”, though Nigel admitted to always being saddened by the trim. “I like a tangle. It’s nice when the garden feels slightly abandoned. I’m happier when things are woolly than when they’ve just been clipped.” Taking in the glorious shrouding greenery, we were inclined to agree.
