1. Is this the place in Albrighton? A beautiful garden when the roses are blooming. (It is Austin not Austen btw) I have had a couple of lovely visits there – came away with a Marmalade Heuchera which is still going after 10 years! What rose did you receive then?

         1. what a pun! I only know him from “Christina’s world” –

            1. His most popular, but arguably not his best work. Three famous painters in one family: father, son, and grandson.

               1. threefold talent – I learn something new every day or even every moment of every day but then I was educated to keep educating myself so thanks for that
