We have so many happy memories visiting The Elms over many years. Geoff (and Brenda) made us welcome and shared lot’s of Hide stories, visiting The Mill, and Aunty Dorothy – and when Uncle James was around. The big Hide Millennium party. We were so pleased that Geoff & Brenda bought the Elms – keeping it in the family. Geoff enjoyed sharing the history of the Hides, Whitchurch and The Silk Mill. He took a keen interest in Robert’s Horticultural career and liked answering horticultural questions. There was always time for a cup of coffee, a chance to catch up with the news and a tour of the garden when we called in after volunteering at the Mill. Our love and prayers Celia & Robert
