Thank you so much everyone - Peter is thrilled with all your comments. He said he will make an extra effort for you all this summer!
A couple of you mentioned the scents - fuchsias dont have any - but early mornings/late evenings with dew, or after a very light shower, there is the most lovely perfume comes off everything else.
The other thing is the variety of bees, butterflies and moths we get to see close up, including some quite rare ones, such as Elephant Hawk Moth. We have found their huge caterpillars in the fuchsias and remove them to a fuchsia we dont mind surrendering, as they will strip a plant in hours. So we get to be wildlife guardians as well!
