Sissinghurst Castle, film 1993, Kent, England

            Sissinghurst Castle Garden, in the Weald of Kent, England, was created by Vita Sackville-West, poet and writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, author and diplomat. My husband and I had the great pleasure to make acquaintance with their son Nigel Nicolson, while alighting the train from London to the rail station nearest Sissinghurst. Nigel's car battery was dead and we helped him get it started. To express his thanks, he invited us to drive to Sissinghurst with him, which is where he lived. He asked me to help prepare a simple lunch in his kitchen and, after enjoying a very jolly time conversing and laughing, he set me free in the garden. Now a very special part of this story is that the garden wasn't open to the public for another two hours, so I had it to myself, just me and the gardeners. At the end of the afternoon, Nigel invited us for tea, and then returned us the the station to catch the train back to London.
