Wales Album: Stairs to other realms
Up to the tiptop of Ty Isaf
and the studio of Clive Hicks-Jenkins
Aberystwyth flower steps.
The pheasants take the stairs at Ty Issaf.
Steps to Jack's world.
"Throw my frisbee?"
From garden lawn to paddock, past a Meri Wells tutelary spirit.
At Ty Isaf.
Castell Powis stairs.
Peacocks take and fan the stairs at Castell Powis.

Wales Album: Clare Dudman (& the Stars-and-Garters)
I dragged the jet-lagged Dave Bonta
to meet penpal-and-novelist
Clare Dudman at Castell Powis.
Sunny. Lots of glare. Not Welshy weather...
except for the chilliness in the air.
Correspondents meet in the flesh, hurrah!
Lovely, that feeling of already
knowing and being known...
Clare treated me and Dave to a lovely lunch
at Lady Somebody or Other's Tea Shop at Castell Powis.

May glimpse: the shade garden
When I got home from Wales, the Virginia bluebells and the uvularia were already fading, but trillium and ginger (those little brown jugs!) and some of the dwarf iris, false and true Solomon's seals, celandine poppies, bleeding hearts (white or pink-and-white), and more were in bloom.
My friend Clive has asked me so many times in the past for glimpses of my garden, and at last I shall
