Dear Tami, the Dutch Arbor chair was really lovely! I can just imagine sitting in that on a warm day with a ice cold drink, and letting the world go by without a worry! How pleasant would that be?
The pink Clematis with the curled out petals is indeed 'Princess Diana'; many people and myself thought it was , and reminded us of our beloved Princes, for it was as beautiful, and as stunningly gorgeous as she was.
Having met Princess Diana at Greenwich I have always been an admirer of her and her work for charity. The day she was killed our entire Nation was in shock, the whole place was silent!
On the day of her funeral every shop and pub shut down, you could hear a pin drop it was so silent, with no traffic or aircraft anywhere. Tami I do not think there was one dry eye in our Country.
Some lovely plants came out named after her, and I got a Ceanothus 'Princess Diana', which is also beautiful. I look after this plant most carefully, as it brings back a lot of memories for me.
I am also told Princess Diana was well liked in America?
I hope you are well and it is not too hot for you?
Neil.
