'Dixter' details

[moi]

This is the house and garden that my mother and I went to visit for her 83rd birthday,mentioned in a previous thread. The gardens were originally designed by Nathaniel Lloyd and Lutyens but it was the son, Christopher Lloyd-well kown garden writer and TV presenter-who made the place famous. His books about using unusual colour combinations in the garden are wonderfully inspirational.
