You say your happy there. Somehow this reveals to me that you can be happy anywhere. You see all the flowers growing in her garden, see her books, smell the fragrance of her house and it make you dream. So let us be inspired anywhere and find Virginia in ourselfselfs.

What a great video! Monk's House and the surrounding areas are gorgeous. You can definitely see why she set her desk facing the hills in the distance, assuming that nothing obscured them previously. The whole area must've been wonderful for someone so brilliantly perceptive as she.

I have the 2013 book ‘Virginia Woolf’s Garden’ by Caroline Zoob. It’s a beautiful coffee table book. Thank you for videoing the garden. Selfishly, I wish the video went for longer. It looked beautiful. I have to embarrassingly admit, I’ve not read a Virginia Woolf book yet. I think I’ll read a little more about her life before choosing. In the time I’ve taken to write this comment, I’ve decided that I’ll buy a Virginia Woolf book for Christmas - a gift to myself this year (2020). A wonderful reason to add another book to my bookshelf. Thank you for your inspiration 🍁🍂🍄

This is simply beautiful! I must go and see her house! I adore this series of Snapshots you're putting together! I really enjoyed Life in Squares and felt that it did great justice to Virginia, Leonard, Lytton, Vanessa and the rest of the Bloomsbury Group. I've read Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse; any recommendations for my third Woolf novel?

+Anna the Bibliophile The Waves! I enjoyed Life in Squares too but like with every bio drama I wanted a bit more focus on their work.

I know that this is an old post, but i wonder if you were able to note some of the books on Virginia Woolf's shelves. Are these original? I believe that most of her library is now housed at Washing State University. Those painted volumes look like they were done by Vanessa Bell or Duncan Grant--or are they just facsimiles? Fascinating!

Hi Christina, if people enjoy my videos they can choose to tip me (just like a busker) to help support my video making. It’s completely optional and I do this instead of putting ads on the majority of my videos - including this one. If I’d chosen to put ads on this video I could have made around £3,000 for context. I’ve been using any funds I’m kindly given to help save up for a postgraduate degree. I hope that helps!
