I loved the TV adaptation of "Portrait of a Marriage" - Janet McTeer striding around in britches and riding boots... If I hadn't just come out, it would have turned me gay

Very dangerous, these britches-wearing women.

I love visiting authors' homes, grand or humble. I'd love to visit Sissinghurst; it looks magnificent. Likely the closest thing to it here in the U.S. is Edith Wharton's estate, The Mount, in Lenox, MA. There are gardens there as well but nothing to compare with Vita's. Thank you for this uplifting post, Anna!

I love this Anna. And I can’t read it without thinking of Sue Limb’s Gloomsbury, do you know it? One of my very favourite R4 comedies.

Thanks Ruby! I don't know it, but it sounds great. I'll seek it out on BBC Sounds.
