I understand that restlessness Janelle. For many of us it is always there, but I’m sure you will find your forever home when you least expect it. Love reading your posts. 🩷

Thank you for such a beautiful post (as always, I might add). My condolences for your beloved Cooper. It was a delight and privilege to see him in your instagram posts. How I wish I did not live half a world away from the London Garden Museum. I have thoroughly enjoyed your take on the Cecil Beaton exhibition and have kept the tab open on my computer for the collaboration of Bunny Mellor and de Gournay. I enjoy going back to it, it makes my heart happy. All the best for your home hunting, and I look forward to reading (no pressure of course - happy to wait until it is ready) your new book on Beaton, Dior and Givenchy and their gardens.

What a lovely post! And the theme is wonderful - the search for a home for your heart. You have wonderful friends everywhere - the challenge will be to plant yourself where you can have the perfect mix of solitude, companionship, proximity to your publishers and a wonderful garden. It will be fun to see where the search takes you. Sending love re Cooper. Always in your heart.

How I loved your house by the sea and the happy life you created there with your dogs. I know I shall be just as enamoured of your next home as long as you keep writing. Taking us along with you.

I’m so sorry that you lost Cooper 😔 Have you looked at properties on the Isle of Wight? It’s heaven on earth 🥰 Definitely worth a visit to see the beautiful gardens at Tennyson’s house Farringford, Mottistone NT, the walled garden at Osborne House and Ventnor Botanic Garden.
