We find it that rare gem of a country outing that is neither too quaint nor too gentrified.
And in the 12 years we've been attending, it has never failed to offer amusement.
I've wondered about whether Amersham also employs weather wizards--but perhaps that's why the weeks have been so dreary in between weekends. At any rate, one trusts that Thursday's preparations will make this weekend well worth the trouble.
As for Cooper, you should know by now that a truly great artist is able to reinvent himself and his style to remain in vogue. Personally, I cannot wait to see what he has devised. He's been most secretive while updating the gardens here.
(By the way, has Tosha made arrangements for a box at the opera this season? I took one look at the offerings planned and thought perhaps we might let our box out for at least half the productions. I'm not sure what Gilhooly's thinking, giving us those old chestnuts. Lohengrin? Gormenghast? Boris Godunov? One expects he's trying to impress someone with a morbid sense of humour! Anyway, I know Phyllida Marks was hoping to take a box this season if one were available and possibly the Gimlets as well. But if he's at all interested, we'll hold off making any offer.)
