Good morning Steven. I am delighted that you think I captured the joie de vivre of the folly and its creators. I was certainly captivated (and not just by the vermouth!) Thanks for getting in touch.

Jane is my sister. You have ably captured the sophisticated wit and capacity for creative detail that went into her and Simon’s folly. By the way, I can vouch for the Vermouths!

Good afternoon Tom on a lovely sunny Autumn day. The perfect day for sitting in a delightful summerhouse, although it is getting chilly as the day goes on. I couldn’t agree more – small beauties are a joy. Thanks for sharing the connection to the film.

THE FOLLOWING IS SOMEWHAT DIRECTED TO THOSE OVER 30+ (WELL OVER).
THERE WAS A WONDERFUL AMERICAN MOVIE TITLED:
‘MR. BLANDINGS BUILDS HIS DEAM HOUSE HOUSE’. c. 1948. IT STARED: CARY GRANT AND MYRNA LOY (AS HUSBAND & WIFE). MOVING FROM THEIR NYC CITY APT. TO THE CONN. COUNTRY SIDE, THEY TAKE ON THE MAJOR TASK OF … ‘RE-DECORATING’
THE “CONNECTION” TO TODAY’S OFFERING IS:
MYRNA LOY FINDS … 3 (THREE) BEAUTIFUL SQUARES OF FINISHED FLAGSTONE. SHE DECIDES TO ‘CREATE’: A – SMALL, SIMPLE, “INEXPENSIVE’ – ‘FLOWER ROOM’.
IT ALL WORKS OUT IN THE END, BUT SOMETIMES – SMALL BEAUTIES ARE OFTEN THE BEST.
LUCKY THE OWNERS, THE NEIGHBORS, & ALL OF US.
MANY THANKS.

Thank you Jocelyn, I do appreciate your kind comments. Jane’s garden is private but if she ever has open days I will be sure to let you know.

Hello Jane. Please join me in the queue of aspirant folly builders. I will make enquiries about the recipe.
