BTW, for those people who enjoy gardening books, the book on his garden is called "The garden at Highgrove". This is not a cheap book and I debated long and hard with myself as to whether I should bother to pay the money for a book on the garden of a rich royal whose lifestyle is nothing like mine or even in the same country or in the same gardneing conditions. I'm so glad that I did eventually buy it as it's real eye candy and his attitude to his garden resonates with me. He even ignored advice given to him by that guru Sir Roy Strong because it didn't fit into what he wanted to do. I keep pulling it off the shelves when I need a bit of inspiration. Wonderful book, even more wonderful garden (this is about another book by him but there are good pics here of his garden): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...-new-book.html \ Thanks for that wonderful Chanukah gift. You're welcome. I could almost smell the flowers in those marvelous pictures. Again, many thanks. (Wonder what kind of king he would have made. Any thoughts?) I don't think he will ever be king. Sadly. I've always been a Charles fan even when he was being pilloried by the press due to the expert manipulations of Dianna. He always seems to be very thoughtful and to reach conclusions which I've never thought to be at all controversial. His mother will be a very hard act to follow given how well she has done since the early 1950s. I suspect William will see the end of the Monarchy. He is a very different kettle of fish. Despite the nice exterior, I'm not convinced that he will be a good King. |
