I really must visit it. Its virtually the only NT prop in the area I HAVEN'T been to which is odd! i would suggest that Raven got some acceptance when she compromised a bit.

Both Sarah and Adam Nicholson have books to sell,and what Sarah Raven lacks in horticultural areas she makes up for in being a great cook! Her vegetable cook book is truly wonderful. However, as we know the temptation is to bury bad news, and I am sad that amongst all the talk of farming and vinegar sachets no one has mentioned the tragic demise of the Poplar Walk down to the lakes. The National Trust is very careful to preserve, but I rather wish it had in this case preserved the Poplar Avenue and re-routed us punters through the perfectly viable new Nut Walk. Tom I have sent you photos of this, or I am happy to upload them. In fact it needs less real visitors but more virtual, video-watching, book buying visitors.
