I go every year now, and should be sorry to miss it. How odd it seems, that for years and years I never went to a flower show, or knew anything about them, and now they have become one of the interests of my life! The great attraction this year is the revival of what are called old-fashioned late single Tulips—Breeders, Flames, &c. Those who like to buy the bulbs, ordering them carefully by the catalogue, may have their gardens gay with Tulips for over two months, certainly the whole of April and May. Pot-pourri from a Surrey Garden Thomas Nelson & Sons 1910 116 (366 pages; 1st edition 1897; 1st part of quote; last part of quote) Many people would say, 'So strict a way of Dieting diet would make life unbearable,' but after a time this strictness so changes the tastes the simpler foods are really enjoyed, and I distinctly think, that when people have dieted for several years, the amount of harm done by an occasional relapse is so small that the social convenience of it makes it worth while, so long as it is acknowledged as a concession to weakness and not a thing to be continued.

Edward Burne-Jones was particularly keen to visit. He had previously stayed with his friend Stanhope at neighbouring ‘Sandroyd House’ which had been built in 1860 for the pre-Raphaelite painter John Roddam Spence Stanhope by the architect Philip Webb, and visited the lovely fir woods in the surrounding area. Theresa’s garden was much admired by those in her circle, it comprised a terrace with planters, beds and borders of hardy plants and a kitchen garden in which she also grew culinary herbs.
