ramsgate-in-winter

Updated: June 21, 2025

There was a dwarf evergreen bush and a fragment of vine stretching itself sleepily, and a tall thin tree they might all have got comfortably into one bed, but they had been planted in three far apart, and this gave the garden a desolate Ramsgate-in-winter air of "Beds to let." The tall thin tree was absolutely naked, without an inch of foliage to cover its wooden limbs; a mere mass of dry sticks.
