“When we sat down to plan this pattern it 2006, we thought we had hailed a new take of Portmeirion’s Botanic Garden. Well. That plot completely failed, as the pattern sold only mildly.
Then, instead of working at it, as know we always should, taking the elements that were slightly more successful and working on them to strengthen the design, we hastily withdrew the pattern and forget all about it. But the theme is a good one, surely? In fact, I know that it is.”
