点评:We picked the right day to visit. A bit of sunshine although windy. The roses were out in the garden and the smell was gorgeous.
However, the main reason to go was the house and the wonderful museum for Ellen Terry put together by her daughter Edy. I think the beetle wing dress was the star of the show, which Dame Ellen had a hand in designing. It is superb. The museum of artefacts from her wonderful life shows how popular she was.
My grateful thanks to the kind lady (downstairs Wednesday) who gave me a potted history of Dame Ellen's married life. Ironic that her two children were born out of wedlock.
She was a powerful woman and actress obviously as she was a high earner and very well respected. I admire her too.
Tea in the barn in the garden was very good.
Only two loos though!
翻译:我们选了个好日子去参观。虽然风很大,但阳光明媚。花园里的玫瑰盛开,香气宜人。
然而,我们去的主要原因是这栋房子和艾伦·特里女儿艾迪为她建造的精美博物馆。我觉得那件甲虫翅膀连衣裙是亮点,艾伦女爵士参与了设计。它真是太棒了。博物馆里收藏了她精彩一生的文物,展现了她多么受欢迎。
非常感谢那位好心的女士(星期三在楼下),她向我简要介绍了艾伦女爵士的婚姻生活。讽刺的是,她的两个孩子都是非婚生的。
她显然是一位很有影响力的女性和演员,因为她收入很高,而且很受尊敬。我也很钦佩她。
花园谷仓里的茶很棒。
不过,只有两个厕所!
