More quotes by Angela Thirkell
it is rather depressing to think that one will still be oneself when one is dead, but I dare say one won't be so critical then.
Angela Thirkell
There are few pleasures like really burrowing one's nose into sweet peas.

The great thing in life is not to be able to do things, because then they are always done for you.
