The trees and heilges, village; here you have the winding roads the numerous greens, the wooden fences, and little gardens, tite very materiais from which the houses were built, are all parts of the ordinary, landscape of Southern England. Here and there a bit of Geor pleasing contrast to the normal type of gian architecture strikes the eye, in s English cottage with its sloping roof, little doorway, and low wide windows. The ivy has trailed over the rough-cast and the weatherboarding, and the little village nestles in its valley as if it were unconscious of the terrible struggle which called it into being."
As you walk along the gravel pathways you are semnek by a bit which looks like St. Albans, a grown up town when the Florane came to England. Here is an arrangement of houses and trees which reminds you of Essex; further on & curve of the road and the vista beyond makes you think of Shere or any village in Surrey. And everywhere the town j livable; you know that this isn't merely
