In Notes from the Henhouse, you will find: A Gothic castle, a
draughty Norfolk farmhouse and a malevolent Aga A pet pig, Portia
with a penchant for drama, an obsession with geraniums and an
addiction to wine (the Bulgarian vintage) George Barker, poet and
beloved husband, warbling cowboy songs into his glass and
declaiming Hopkins and Houseman in The Drinking Room Five
entrancing baby cherubimos, rolling and bouncing about in a big
brass bed, before growing up at breakneck speed The ecstasy of
writing, the dither of procrastination, and the endless adventures
to be had in the wild realms of the imagination The outrage of
death, the loneliness of widowhood, and then the surprising joys of
dereliction: of moving very slowly round the garden in a shapeless
coat, planting drifts of narcissus bulbs for latter springs.
