When she was a little girl she was in love with Miss Tiggywinkle and Jemimah. There were books and china figurines, bed linen and curtains. She couldn't get enough. When she was expecting her first child her first purchase for baby was - you guessed it - a new set of books. Hers are worn and broken-backed. What a treat it would be to walk through the gardens and to visit the rooms. Thank you for taking us along. I will show this post to my daughter, who will appreciate the company you had on your tour!
