I have finally succeeded in rebuilding this site (July 2002) as the previous page disappeared into the wastes of cyberspace, due to idiots at Geocities..... I have replaced all of the information and links that were here before.

See the AWARDS this page has received.

I decided to start with images of the Goddesses Flora and Pomona, as depicted in tapestries by William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones.

There is a special reason why I introduce this page with a William Morris design - I look after the garden at

Kelmscott House, the headquarters of the William Morris Society.

We were donated a William Morris Rose last year, specially bred for us by David Austin Roses.
We also have a fantastic crop of woad this summer! (Although in fact Morris did use indigo for most of his dyeing.)

I have also planted a bed of pennyroyal

It smells so good, and is reputed to deter ants.

I LOVE violas, and have many in the garden. I can never decide whether violas or roses are my favourite flowers.....but this is my favourite viola.

Antique Lace

Arabella

This is the wisteria in the garden of our house near Livorno, in Tuscany.

Red is of course the color of love and

Orchids represent fervour and eroticism.
You are a very romantic person, your aim in
life is love and be loved, but with respect and
deep feelings.
