Watched Zoe in Noel Coward’s manic Hay Fever, then went to a writer’s party (smuggling the girls, who were not invited, into a corner of the beautiful North Oxford garden.) Our host, the designer for the current Doctor Who, being filmed near Cardiff, had designed his garden using clever tricks of perspective to make it appear larger. He showed the girls interesting architectural elements salvaged from skips which he’s using in this Dr. Who.
Had some really good, congenial literary conversations which does not always happen at these parties.
