I hadn't heard of Carl Linnaeus before I saw the cart in this picture, at The Newt. I have added a short video of about 4 minutes long, from The Natural History Museum, if you are interested.

Very interesting, Rosalyn. I´m wondering why the wagon is standing where it is?

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Stephan Fey club
Thank you Stephan. It is withing The Newt in Somerset, which has a permanent exhibition called "The Story of Gardening". I took many pictures but when I changed my computer I unfortunately lost them, so on my next visit, I will try again.

I have heard of him before. I use a lot of his classifications for naming my photos. I didn't know he had this wee barrow! LOL. All the best, Joe

I would not like to be the one dragging this lovely hut around the place as the word traveller seems to suggest occured at some stage of its existence :~) So I expect the present owner is relieved about that..

What a drag it must have been for you to lose all your work when changing your computer

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Nick Weall club
It has always been in the same place when I have visited Nick. The Story of Gardening Museum is really fabulous, not at all what you might expect, and is quite magical. Whoever designed it should be very proud.

Yes I lost a few folders of photos that I really didn't want to lose :-( Thank you for your kind comments. Good evening.

What an interesting video.............Linnaeus was, it seems, a man way ahead of his time and for his work to still be used to day is amazing..........what a legacy.

I love the little mobile classroom...........and you've captured it very nicely.

Thanks for sharing Rosa.

And he seemed to have invented the mobile home, Rosa! :-) I guess he was quite the minimalist and if he had more than two or three students he would have had to teach class outside. Summer school, I suppose? ;-)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Yes, and he didn't really know it Edna ;-) He still seems to be teaching through The Newt. The garden museum is surprisingly interesting. I lost my photos of it when I changed computers, but will go there and try again.

Have a good day Edna.

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Well, it's great that he can still teach people without knowing it :-) The Newt (cool name, by the way!) sounds like a really interesting and special place. I do hope you'll be able to go there again soon, so you can take those photos anew and hopefully without losing them this time, Rosa :-))

Behind the delicious charm of your photo, a so interesting evocation of "Carl von Linné", the illustrious botanist - and it's great that the video you're showing us offers French and other subtitles.
As Edna says, NewT is definitely a place of infinite richness! You never cease to help us discover its many and often elegant points of interest.
I wish you a very pleasant weekend, Rosa
