She lives up the stairs behind a red gate with bell that jingles when you open it.
The porch is covered with flower pots
and she maintains an aviary outside her front door.
Inside, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves
and large abstract paintings.
The whole back wall is a window onto her small garden.
Where there's an old pear tree
And some naturalized lavendar,
But mostly, it's about tall roses and climbers.
Trunks of said tall roses and climbers:
If you want to sit down right now, you'll have to fight it out with Salvia dorisiana.

Fascinating!
It looks like a very pleasant space. I don't see lot of evidence of madness, though. Maybe it's a very mad-sounding jingle on the gate.
Love the avian portraits.
I like the naturalized look and atmosphere of "wild abandon"
Wow! I love her gate, the bell, her birds and the window that looks out into the garden. I want to be a Mad Englishwoman! Thanks for sharing her garden and home.
I love the walls of books and the window-wall that overlooks her garden. I'd sit there for every meal and put my desk in front of it too.
