Asides from
Glyndebourne
The
first thing one notices on arriving at Glyndebourne is the beauty of the place,
a series of wonderful large flower and tree gardens and vast lawns, all set in
the South Downs. Beyond the gardens are fields and lovely hills. Perfect on a sunny,
but not sweltering, summer’s afternoon. (A slight reservation must be registered
over the large wind turbine at the back of the house and the big water
tank-like structure on the roof where house joins concert hall – presumably
containing the stage machinery.)
