Restoration Man

[ParsleyDumpling]

I was watching last night's RM and at the end of the program there was a "tribute" to Alexander Ford-Robbins who died in 2013 (he was 28).
I obviously looked on Google and from what I can gather (which wasn't much) he was a cricketer, a link to a Facebook page has him listed as missing (died crossed out) 2013.

My question, does anyone know the relevance to Restoration Man or maybe the gorgeous George Clarke?

The lady in last nights fabulous programme was , Vanessa Ford Robbins - so maybe he was her son?

[ParsleyDumpling]

Ah, thanks Mamya I didn't know her surname. Wasn't the house and garden simply stunning when they completed the extension?

[Mamyalynne]

It was indeed and their plans for the future sounded great too - a real triumph.

[ParsleyDumpling]

I thought their enthusiasm for the skills they had learnt to help them restore the lodge, and the fact they wanted to teach other people the same skills was inspired. I wish them every success.

[Mamyalynne]

Me too.

I saw that at the end of the programming and also wondered. Thanks for the information.
That house was stunning...nice and cosy even before the addition.

I loved what they did to the lodge. I really like this programme.

Hello,
The Lodge, which was featured on this programme had been bought and restored by a couple called Nice Huddersfield and Vanessa Ford-Robbins.
It seems sad and very likely that the young man who was remembered in the closing creditswas a very close relative of Vanessa, perhaps even her son.

[Dollydreamer]

Sorry, that should have read 'Nic Huddy'.
My predictive text option was responsible for that error.

[Mamyalynne]

It was her son yes.
