102: Did Brown do garden rooms?

On October 17, 2015

A Cotswold garden room

Mr J, the braggart, writes from the Cotswolds to tell me he has twelve garden rooms and boasts that that is twice as many as Capability Brown ever managed in the 18^th century.

Hullo all, they call me Oofy, Oofy Price actually. Well the Tatler’s Waste-bin was a wash-out. Just not licking the lolly. So me and the chaps have taken over and we’re starting a paper. ‘The Repton Gazette’. Same rules as for the last lot (questions numbered and logged on receipt, responses whenever we get round to it, everyone anonymous unless requested otherwise). Thought it would be jolly to start numbering with 1818 (year Repton died) and rock up to the present, 200 FAQs later. Ta-ta. Oofy
