I refer, of course, to an architectural hobby. I'm getting into follies - and I'm going to do it properly.
We already have a summer house in the form of a Grecian temple, but what we're lacking is something... something... something reminding us of antique times, and yet maybe more rustic than a temple. Now. What can I get?
Stonehenge is so 1960s, and Avebury's a bit... well, frankly, it's a bit artificial. It's been kind of coaxed into order. So I want something a bit grander, a bit bigger and a bit more foreign.
I think I shall go for a reconstruction of Carnac. I wonder if the French will sell it to me?
I should think it more possible to get Carnac by purchase than by imitation and I am sure Miss Bingley would agree with me but I hear she has eloped with Mr William Elliot.
