The Very Best Gardens of the Cotswolds & Nearby Regions

In a normal summer, during non-pandemic-times, I’d be rattling around in England and in Italy, continuing my explorations of landscapes, architecture, art, cultural history and gardens. But now, in year 2020, the more I’m forced to settle into covid-avoidance-immobility, the more vivid my house-and-garden-bound days here in rural New Hampshire are becoming; this because I’m … Continue reading »

So, instead it’ll be “Jane Austen AND Bath.” I’ll try to describe the City as it was during the times when she lived … Continue reading »

Contemplating the Genius of Place & The Places of Geniuses: Liverpool,Ruins at Great Witley,Chawton

September 20th, 2012. Liverpool, England.

(Note: Once again, the photos that Anne took, and which she generously allows me to include here, … Continue reading »
