I get a kick out of you ...

As a (slightly sad) teen I could get a kick out of seeing great paintings in the flesh, now in my forties I find a 'moving' art moment somewhat hard to come by. Yesterday we visited the GREAT great Dixter (Christopher Lloyd's garden now run by Fergus Garrett) and I had that same excitement to see something 'in the flesh' that you've seen in lots of reproductions. The garden more than surpassed my expectations, in fact I had to leave for an off site cup of tea half way round to pace myself.
