Shaw with his hut rotating to capture and control the sun - how Pygamilion-like - then again maybe he just needed better light to write by. Philip, I can't help but think that you, too, use your own "modest" garden retreat to write and sometimes lift your head in thought to gaze at your garden and muse how connected one is to all the other gardeners of words who have done the same before you.

The cottage by the sea sounds wonderful! David Jarman had this cottage by the sea which looks interesting.The cottage was painted black with bright yellow trim. Wood letters on the side exterior wall with a poem. The garden was a kind of art installation with gravel and windblown tussoks of shrubs. Bits of things collected from the seashore,driftwood arranged.All very atmospheric with a sense of place. Have you read "The outermost House" by Henry Beston? That described living in a cottage by the sea,too. :) Hi Nancy, I enjoyed writing this. The cottage by the sea sounds wonderful!

I've been keenly interested in all things Woolf since watching "The Hours". I love the idea of a writer's retreat -- mine would be a simple cottage near the ocean. One room would do, but it would be a room with a view. :) Kathryn is right — how wonderful! I’ve been keenly interested in all things Woolf since watching “The Hours”.

I LOVE it. I think (but am not certain) that Mark Twain did this as well. Do you know? This is so rich. What a wonderful post, capturing the imagination and spirit of the day! Lucky Shaw! What a way to go. One of my favorite lines from a Fannie Flagg book is when the main elderly character climbs a ladder to a tree. Her last words, "Uh-oh." :) Bravo!
