Is it usually quiet there or do a lot of people spend time there?N.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17876391288070968316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-76925384922488830012010-08-12T18:06:59.620+03:002010-08-12T18:06:59.620+03:00The way you laid out your beautiful pictures and t...The way you laid out your beautiful pictures and the descriptions made me feel like I'm in the not so secret garden with you. With such a magnificent view of centuries of history from the sitting area at the top of the garden who could read or study. The plant with the fuzzy yellow or gold flowers sticking up from the base looks like candy drops. Could you find out the name of the plant for me. I always enjoy your blog and look forward to more.<br /><br />Love,<br />MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4105951987157775123.post-31363134072046161202010-08-08T21:15:58.831+03:002010-08-08T21:15:58.831+03:00That spot you're calling a sitting area looks ...That spot you're calling a sitting area looks like a little amphitheater. It's got seating, a stage and spars for an awning even. Makes me wonder if they ever stage productions or classes/lectures there. Maybe not since students'd be too distracted by the view to even listen to a lecture in that sort of setting. Gorgeous!<br /><br />You mentioned sitting and reading when it got "cooler". Does it ever get cooler? It looks scarily hot to me.<br /><br />On that song from the previous post. It's sad that you poor, benighted youngsters lose track of cultural history so easily. Though that may be the only place you've heard the song and one of your other subscribers gave the same answer, even the Wiki entry on IA2 acknowledges that that song came from Oliver!. Oliver! won multiple awards as a stage play and then 6 academy awards when it was made into a movie. But that was before you were born so it might as well have been on another planet to anyone younger than 40, I guess. Fagin and the Dodger lived in vain. BTW - it was pretty good for a musical if you ever want to give it a view.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024346621075202108noreply@blogger.com
