Bob,
I have met Christopher Lloyd. If you want to meet Mr. Lloyd there is a
price. He talks to gardeners only for a fee.
I was on a bus from London to Sussex to see Lloyd's garden and Sissinghurst
plus one other I can't remember just now.
You can book garden tours out of London easily and be back the same day.
Lloyd was in his garden. I gather that he has worked in his garden all the
years it has been open dressed just as the gardeners so he would not be
noticed. The day I was there some German tourists tried to take a picture of
him and that is a no-no. Whilst he stalked off in a very bad temper I took a
picture of that from behind a shrub. I did not want to be banished also but
could not resist the picture. So if you visit the garden, you are likely to
find him crawling around in beds same as you or I. Just do not take any
pictures and remember that if a group wants conversation, it is paid for in
advance. Same thing for the late Rosemary Verey's garden.
Lloyd's garden was the best of the three.
