So whilst I keep spinning those plates would you like to have a cup of tea and visit Roald Dahl's garden with me? Nestled in the Buckinghamshire landscape, the gardens at Gipsy House, are opened just a few times a year under the National Gardens Scheme. Just imagine my excitement when I was able to visit on my recent UK trip!
Such a beautiful white house with bright happy yellow doors and my favourite part of course was his Writer's Hut looking out over a wildflower meadow! Maybe, just maybe, one day I too will build my own mini house with roses round the door where I can go and write & paint! I'll let the photos do the rest... you can click on all the photos to see larger images.
Can you spot his white Writer's Hut?
Where those magical books were written!
I guess I can understand closing the curtains, although I don't think I could.
I would probably sit gazing at the view too much as well!
Dreaming!

He planted a Maze with fabulous messages carved in the stone, for his children
I hope you enjoyed this magical trip to Gipsy House. I love to hear your comments.

Hi Catherine,
Thanks so very much for sharing your trip to Roald Dahls Garden. The photos are terrific and make me want to see it one day myself - maybe it will happen! I enjoyed seeing your pictures and all the little details that you mention.

Hello, Catherine
Thank you for your visit. I'm returning the favour and just enjoyed my through via your photographs. It looks like a lovely place and I know I'd enjoy a good snoop in the hut.
I gather that you are also wildly creative. How wonderful.
