In reply to Jonathan Miller. Hello Jonathan. Yes I have this book, thanks. Hopefully we can all revisit some Miller buildings and landscapes before too long.

A very useful book Sanderson Miller & His Landscapes, by J. Meir was published in 2006. He has been described as a Gentleman Goth. He lived at Radway, Warwickshire, and his house, as well as a splendid entrance tower remain extant.

In reply to Editor. I think you should take credit for managing to keep on keeping on in such times when many are in a state of inertia. Feeding us weekly doses of your fine research and coordination is balm to the soul. Thank you!

In reply to Julia Abel Smith.

Yes, it’s a very interesting discovery, and all credit to Mike Cousins for finding and sharing this addition to the history of the park at Hagley. Neil Jennings introduced me to the work of Lyndon Goodwin Harris – completely new to me. I can’t take credit for much this week!

Fascinating that there was a much earlier building on the site- 1697 is really very early for that sort of folly. Beautiful watercolours too. Thank you.

In reply to Gand. Right now, I’d settle for getting wet just to be able to travel and see friends.

Ah. That took me back to a very wet FF visit, (one of many wet FF visits up and down the land). Despite the rain it was enjoyable and informative. Although we didn’t dry out till the following Wednesday l recall.
