One of our team has been going through her old school books and found this acrostic she wrote aged 8 years when learning about the great flood of St Ives in 1947. The flood water came right up to the doorstep without entering the house, and inspired Tolly's arrival in 'The Children of #GreenKnowe'

β€˜Why do you live in a castle?’ he said, looking round. β€˜Why not? Castles are meant to be lived in.’

Perceptive remark on the functions of castles from Lucy Boston in The Children of Green Knowe. It ain't all military! More on What is a Castle?

The Manor, Hemingford Grey - a garden review by Laura of The3Growbags There are certain gardens that just have a magical, dream-like quality about them. The Manor is just such one.

"There are certain gardens that just have a magical, dream-like quality about them. They transport you to a place, a moment in time, that lingers in your memory more as a feeling than an image. This is one such garden."

The artist #ElisabethVellacott was a good friend of #LucyMBoston? She helped Lucy with the wartime concerts for the RAF, and they block-printed curtains for the Manor windows together. Later, Lucy's son Peter designed a house for Elisabeth nearby (painting by E Vellacott) www.greenknowe.co.uk
