点评:Visiting the house and exhibition was a special and uplifting experience. The exhibition was beautifully curated and more alive than the digital images could ever be. As an artist I want to paint flowers as more than pretty pictures and this was inspirational. I also realised how much we had been affected by long past visits to the house, as now our home is old and unpretentious, with vernacular oak, white walls and an eclectic mixture of artefacts.
I’d been worried by my limited mobility and the stairs in the house but the staff could not have been more kind, helpful and informative. They even came to find us in the exhibition when there was a time slot for the house earlier than booked. There was seating everywhere and carefully managed space, plus portable stools for the exhibition. We were lucky to find street parking nearby, using a Blue Badge.

我原本担心自己行动不便,而且故居里还有楼梯,但工作人员非常友善、乐于助人,而且知识渊博。即使我们提前参观了故居,他们也特意来展览馆找我们。展馆内到处都有座位,空间安排得井井有条,还为参观者准备了便携式凳子。我们很幸运地在附近找到了路边停车位,因为我们持有残疾人停车证。
