Tour One booked out!!! Tour Two by demand!

Oh my gosh........or some sort of expletive like that!! Can you believe the William Morris Tour is booked out in less than a week!!! As we say in Australia...."crikey"!! Helen has just emailed me with the exciting news - so due to the popularity of our friend Morris she is going to organise a second tour from September  23rd. So if you missed out on the first one I suggest you hurry for the second!

Thankyou to those of you that I know personally who are coming - won't it be sensational?!
We are in the middle of chaos and mess at home packing...........so much sentimental stuff that I simply can't take, so I am taking photos of it all before it goes to another home. I will miss my William Morris blooms (above) and I have not been able to order a new one from my usual Rose nursery, so I do hope I can source it elsewhere.
 I hope you are resting in peace William Morris - we certainly aren't!! I am sure you are wondering what all the fuss is about!!
 When I had lunch at Kelmscott last year this is where I sat - you could even touch the curtains!! I can't wait to return and share it all with you

  1. I can't bare for you to leave behind such a magnificent rose ...

    Treloars have William Morris and they freight to everywhere. They are located in Portland (half way between you and me!).

    Wish I was going on the tour with you but I'll be traipsing around Australia instead.

    Good luck with the move.

  3. Congratulations on the second tour! I don't know how to do this, but can you take a cutting from that rose and start another? It's so beautiful.

  4. Crikey, I knew that tour would sell out quick. Good for you!! I am still hoping for a miracle but I don't see it coming yet. It has to get thru DH! Hope you find your roses. Thanks for sharing the grand Mr Morris with us. I have three quilts underway with his fabric, one is completed. Your friend, Margaret in Mineola, TX
