Yippee! At last able to visit Charleston again, with a lift from a friend from Balham station, a two hour journey to meet friends of hers in Lewes before travelling on to Charleston.
A house next to a farm in the South Downs might not seem a good subject for a blog called "green and country in the city", but, I see no reason why much of that lifestyle that so appeals to me can't also be done in the city.
One could live in a city house full of paintings by oneself and ones friends and relations, and of them too. With books by them as well. With pottery lampshades made by one of the family, and a table lap made of a painted bit of telegraph pole and the lamp shade of an old skirt. And instead of buying wallpaper one could paint the walls instead. And the furniture! And evenings/days/weekends spent creating and talking.
Bliss!
