I got some bookish presents at Christmas, including the cushion pictured below.
I had never heard of the Cicero quote before:
IF YOU HAVE A GARDEN AND A LIBRARY YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED
but I completely agree with it, what a wise chap he was. It has made me think that I should get down to reading some serious Cicero. I think I might have read some when I was at school, in Latin.
I’ve had a look online for any information about a garden belonging to Cicero but haven’t had any luck finding anything, so his garden must have disappeared – as they often do.
There’s lots of great book quotes like this on Pinterest. Thanks for the beautiful pictures of Scotland.
Lorraine,
I’m glad you enjoy the pictures. I hope to have loads of our trip to Orkney in June.
Whoever gave you the pillow certainly knows you very well! I think I may need to check out Cicero, too!
Joan,
It was Gordon and Laura – so they should know me well!
