In the middle of a long, grey London winter I always find myself longing for some colour and it's got me dreaming of having a hothouse Victorian style. I'd fill it with Vanda orchids, hibiscus flowers,
and lots of palms.
perhaps even some giant waterlily pads for people to stand on,
and space to have tea
I'm off to Petersham Nurseries now!
