It was great to have the excuse to go to Blenheim at last :D<br /><br />Victoria - yes it was great and lovely to get the chance to catch up with you. I'm glad to see your course at Great Dixter went well :)<br /><br />Esther - well it's coffee and cake in my case as I'm allergic to tea, but I understand your meaning<br /><br />Susan - it's the kind of book that I hope will be <br /><br />PMN - a more in-depth look at Blenheim itself will follow<br /><br />Hermes - I could get 'lost in the landscape' there<br /><br />Alex - thanks. It's great to hear from someone so personally involved in the book. Thanks for the link from your blog too :)<br /><br />FG - I kept on thinking how you and Gail would be feeling if you were there with us.

I agree, it is the personal touches, learning more about the owners and gardeners that makes the difference between a sleepy same old same old and a riveting read. I wish we could have been there as well to see you and Victoria. :-)<br />xxxooo<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-66512283119287137542010-09-24T13:02:44.634+01:002010-09-24T13:02:44.634+01:00Thank you VP for your kind remarks, and also for t...Thank you VP for your kind remarks, and also for the link.

Since gardens - good ones - are so intensely personal, it's great to hear about the people who make them and run them, as well as learning the dry bones about their structures and styles.<br /><br />Blenheim looks to be a reasonably impressive pile itself, too, so a great setting for your day.
