Tempus Pro Greendoorio

Who lives in a house like this? Three guesses.

The First Lady & Chairman outside Howards End prior to the revamp

A home fit for a First Lady

Here's one the Mother-in-law potted earlier


As members with a keen eye will note, Howards End has had an external facelift. So, to commemorate the first visit to Blighty by the Chair of the Fine Arts Committee (and her parents), the Chairman has painted his front door green and the exterior white. Let’s hope that she has not been too traumatised by her parents misbehaviour during their flight to the UK.

For members who have expressed an interest, I am also delighted to reproduce photographs of one of the pots recently planted by my ecclesiastical Mother-in-law, the Bishop of Burton, who tried to gatecrash a lunch held by the Archbishop of Canterbury to no avail during a recent visit. Like daughter like Mother, I wryly observed. Let us hope the First Lady fairs better at Henley this year.
