Garden Manager Penny has been looking after the garden at The Red House site during the lockdown. Spring has sprung and the garden has come into its own these last few weeks. In her latest 'plant of the month' feature, she talks about snake's head fritillary, a British native flower that is currently in bloom in the orchard. You can read all about them via the link in bio.⁠

Here we have one of our favourite photos from the collection: Britten and Pears with Jove the dachshund, whom Britten described as 'excessively naughty'. Jove shared a name with Shostakovich's Alsatian (pronounced 'Dgoff') who, according to Pears' Moscow diary, 'love[d] everyone, except Shostakovich's beatnik son-in law'.⁠
