BRIDGERULE was bathed in sunshine for this year's open gardens event, making it an enjoyable day for both visitors and garden owners. Several garden owners reported that they had had at least 200 people through their gates and enjoyed being asked questions, giving advice and supplying a few new ideas to fellow keen gardeners. More than £2,770 was raised, to be divided between Devon and Cornwall Air Ambulance Trusts. For the full report, and a round-up of the area news and sport, see this week's edition of the Post.
