The gardens (though I've only seen photos and your sketches)... and Vita's ALL PASSIONS SPENT and travel books... Nigel's life of Virginia Woolf and his autobiography. I plan to read Harold's books, too, one of these days. Have ordered Vita's and Virginia Woolf's letters...<br /><br />Can't stop looking at your trees, here. Repeating myself.

It's one of the best parts of going to Sissinghurst. I was up there once when the late Nigel Nicholson (Harold and Vita's son) came up to adjust the flag they always have flying on top of the tower.<br /><br />My feet have to be in top notch form for me to try climbing up these days - but I got up there last year when it was quiet at the end of the day.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30461696.post-12619994820020406452012-09-01T21:06:21.499+01:002012-09-01T21:06:21.499+01:00I really enjoy and become inspired by your art. ...I really enjoy and become inspired by your art.

Do they let people up in the tower, now?<br /><br />annieanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021356337010751802noreply@blogger.com
