I never met Elspeth but I so admired her beautiful eye for both gardens and interiors. You don't realise how close you can feel to a stranger through a blog until this happens.<br /><br />A true tragedy.Dawn/LIttleGreenFingershttp://www.littlegreenfingers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-89242820910366963122010-03-30T00:24:18.763+01:002010-03-30T00:24:18.763+01:00It's awfully sad isn't it, VP.

It seems ridiculous now that I only become aware of her because she has died. (Not that this is unusual.) None the less, I was moved by her obituary.
