Herry's Journal: Favourite Cities - Beirut
http://herrylaw.blogspot.com/2015/03/favourite-cities-beirut.html
A selection of writings, speeches, photographs and events as well as some of my favourite literary passages. Wednesday, 25 March 2015. Favourite Cities - Beirut. Nowhere can you find combination more breath-taking of sea and snow, age and vigour, history and persiflage. Only at the Levantine end of the Mediterranean could a Beirut exist, with all those undertones of antiquity, graft and tolerance. Is she really a great city, this wayward paragon?

Herry's Journal: Old Swan House Garden in July
http://herrylaw.blogspot.com/2015/07/old-swan-house-garden-in-july.html
A selection of writings, speeches, photographs and events as well as some of my favourite literary passages. Monday, 20 July 2015. Old Swan House Garden in July. I had thought that the garden would look near its best in June, when the euphorbias and roses were out, but in fact it seems to be flowering better in mid July, and the grasses are better too as they have gone from being green to golden, and so look much lighter. My neighbours buddleija adds a strong burst of colour now as well.

Herry's Journal: Old Swan House Garden Open for the NGS 2015
http://herrylaw.blogspot.com/2015/06/old-swan-house-garden-open-for-ngs-2015.html
A selection of writings, speeches, photographs and events as well as some of my favourite literary passages. Saturday, 20 June 2015. Old Swan House Garden Open for the NGS 2015. I have been a supporter of the National Gardens Scheme. For years and love visiting their gardens myself, but faced opening Old Swan House garden this 2015 with some trepidation. I certainly hadn't thought of doing so in only its second season, but was prevailed on after one of the four NGS gardens in Stockbridge was withdrawn.
