The couple, who have four grown-up children and one grandaughter, have opened up their garden up to the public this summer as part of the National Gardens Scheme for the second year in a row.

Mrs Newton said: 'It's an all season garden so in autumn you see brilliant reds, oranges and yellows and in the spring the colours are equally as vivid and vibrant. There will be azalea and acer leaves along with the evergreen conifers.

"That footage is pretty extraordinary AE. Diamond-shaped Tau Ceti scout ships are a kind of a rare sighting to begin with, but to film multiple of them and seemingly on command is pretty amazing. ✨ 🛸 🐻"
