Back patio with 15th century Italian well
Barbara
Holdridge gave us a small glimpse of the garden she left behind at Stemmer
House to move to her new home, but I think we all wanted to see more. Barbara
obliged by sending me a bunch of photos last week. Here they are! Barbara, I'm
sure you have so many good memories of this beautiful, stately garden. It's
wonderful!
