Archived Message Posted by Ken Waldron on March 12, 2020, 3:06 pm, in reply to "Reading illuminates and the answer is no nm" Strangely enough when crossing the Pentland hills in Lothian on my mountain bike one day I came down a dirt track only to be utterly astonished by the actual sight of two black swans swimming in a hillside pond. Further investigation showed I was at "Little Sparta": the artistic Garden of Ian Hamilton Findlay who was there by himself and gave me a personal guided tour of the further delight of his creation. -This is the actual pond of the black swans. Note the apposite sculptured quote: "The Present Order is the Disorder of the Future."
