WEST DEAN, CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX

This is a picture of West Dean near Chichester in West Sussex. There is a horticultural college there, lots of sheep on the hills, and of course a wonderful tearoom. Now, the tearooms you can find in some gardens are sometime a fountain of wisdom, old gardeners’ tricks, elder gossip (all England’s country houses and gardens are popular with retired people) and pleasant smiles and the sort of strangers passing. I know I said before but you should really visit one of those places some day.
