Nathaniel Parker, the garden man
Anna's husband Nathaniel was and is a famous actor. He is well known for his roles in the Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Stardust, Flawless and even had a small part in The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. A side of Nathaniel that not many people know is that he loves to work in his garden. While Anna decorates the house, Nathaniel works in the garden. When they bought the house they are living in now, he landscaped the garden with the help from his mother Jill Parker. She has a lovely garden in Minster Lovell where she and her husband, the late, Sir Peter Parker have a weekend home. Their house was neglected and the garden looked like rubbish. She found out how to create a romantic garden and even wrote a book about it. It is out of print, but it is a wonderful book. She helped her youngest son with his garden.
In my opinion they did a wonderful job. They even buildt a tree house for the children, although Nathaniel admits that their grown up friends are up there more than the children are. He is also very fond of his roses and olive trees. I think that he and Lady Jill Parker created a great garden that goes very well with the wonderful decorated house. They added a veranda to the house, so they can live outdoors aswell. And if the weather allows it they do that a lot. The veranda is a tribute to Australia, where Anna's mother comes from. I hope to see more of their work in garden and home soon.
