Stunning Garden…glad I don’t have to mow that lawn!

I agree! I have lived in London for almost 9 years now and it isn’t so bad after all even if my heart still belongs to the African bush….
You can take the girl out of Nelspruit, but you can’t take Nelspruit out of the girl!

How about a picture of a leopard with the African sunset in the background instead?

I am sure all the SA ex-pats in London will agree when I say that we are extremely proud of you, Mark!

The English, though relegated to the great isle of grey, understand The Garden . They “get” the necessary lushness of a sanctuary that in its very creation reflects The Creator and His labour. They know about beauty in the ordered growth of abundance. They enjoy the priviledge of access to an historically exclusive domain, once reserved for the most trusted employees [or residents] of palaces and kings.

And so it should be that man will always find himself / herself enthralled by a garden. Afterall, he/she was accorded the highest priviledge of starting life in a garden, its periphery bounded by precious metals and gems and in the innermost quarters, enjoyed existence at the pinnacle of created order.

And despite the great unhappinesses on the underground, dark days, squandered light and the pervasive pub culture, the English really do understand The Garden.

And it seems, so do you.

I think we need an updated picture. I’m sure the scene is very different now!

Strange… that image, resized without being resampled, looks like it’s computer generated.

Very nice… but pick it up and put it infront of a wineland background down in Stellenbosch and it would be perfect!!! You would also have all the space to walk around and enjoy the nice blue sky weather… no fences, no *Gates*… or just maybe a little of both needed… grin…

Its very strange that a man who has achieved all that you have cannot clime a fence! Geeeeeeeeee Mark you made it halfway to the moon , now all you need do is climb the fence and take a walk in the lovely garden. In england unlike sufafrika people wont kill you if you trespass. They are too polite and will actually be embarased to as you to leave. Tell you what. Go and sunbate nude in that garden and I bet that you will not be disturbed unless its the russian embasy. But wait you have friends there so its no problem. Dare you misterrrrrrrr Mark. Great picture. You are right London is a very beautiful city sadly most people never see this side of the ancient city. “Of course. The fact that I am not actually allowed INTO that lovely garden is another matter altogether”. So Problem solved Hay!!!!!!!!!!!

Having lived in London over the last 15 years, I can take a guess – Onslow Gardnes in South Ken.. And someone forgot to leave you the key to go in there… Btw, the trees and the sky – as the picture dowloads look rather African, before you see the rest…

Hmmm…

Have taken a continous and off and on look at the pictured garden – its okay – but don’t see the hype – would be interesting to see or know what exactly struck you about it Mark (If I may?) – there is so much more with and without color…

Beauty is in the Beholders Eye…

Mark you and what you are doing have been the topic of discussion for an international group of women over the past two dinner nights – and its getting even more initeresting by the day…good stuff though all good stuff…

Next time you pass by, give us a ring first, the gardener will show you around, and he’ll prepare the barbecue for when I get back from the office. Oh, and bring your own drinks! We like humans here in London.
