“England is not one country. It is a hundred small ones, and I know which doors open in each.”
- England
- from London townhouses to the Borders
- Gardens
- private openings, before the public arrive
- Houses
- families who still live in them, and let us in
A day in my England
The England that never makes the guidebooks
We'd start in a walled garden at eight, with the head gardener and nobody else. Two hours before the gates open is worth a whole afternoon after.
Then a slow drive between villages that look like nothing at all until someone tells you what happened there. Lunch is always at a table I have eaten at myself, usually in a room with a fire, and never rushed. I would rather you saw three things properly than nine badly.
By evening we would be somewhere with old books and a good cellar, and you would not want to leave. That is the measure of a day well planned.
Three places Tetiana will always take you
The Cotswolds, off the main road
The villages nobody photographs, and the ones who still farm them.
A private library in Bloomsbury
Opened for our guests, with the manuscripts out on the table.
The Northumberland coast
Empty beaches, ruined castles, and the best crab in England.
In their words
“Tetiana planned us the most wonderful trip. She listened to all of our requests and we saw and did everything we hoped for. It was all seamless! Every hotel was charming in its own way and within walking distance of where we wanted to be.”
Linda H. “She understood immediately that we wanted gardens, not castles. Every single day had one.”

No dates open
Times will open here again when she is back.
Shall we talk?
Twenty unhurried minutes with Tetiana. Tell her what kind of England you have in your head, and she will tell you where it actually is.
