I have just finished Thoughtful Gardening by Robin Lane Fox. He is a beautiful writer and I found myself ordering books by authors Alice Rawsthorn, Alain de Botton and Peter Beales. I ordered Alice Rawsthorn’s book on Yves Saint Laurent—in the documentary The September Issue the Yves Saint Laurent atelier comes over as very minimalist; Alain de Botton’s The Architecture of Happiness; and Peter Beales’s Classic Roses—many years ago I bought a book on roses that had belonged to one of the assistants at Burkard Nurseries in Pasadena. I no longer have it, I don’t remember what I did with it. I miss it.
