The Eternal HoptimistsTodays beer promises to be a proper, traditional best bitter. And who else is better to put it through its paces other than Peter! #beeroclock #beerlovers #beerreviews Rooster’s Brewing Co – Capability Brown Best Bitter (4.0% ABV) #CapabilityBrown #BestBitter
Wendy PalmerJust found out that Lancelot “Capability” Brown held the position of Royal Gardener at Hampton Court Place some years before my fictional Royal Gardener… how am I ever going to stop myself making a Bergholt Stuttley “Bloody Stupid” Johnson in-joke now?
(My researches also inform me the nickname came not from Lancelot being thought capable, but from his habitual judgement that whatever estate he was reviewing had the “capability” to be improved.)
Ceryl#SuperbOwl Owl House pos designed by #CapabilityBrown @ Wallington nr. #Morpeth #Northumberland. He advised owner Sir Walter Calverley Blackett on designing estate. Brown's older brother George worked as stonemason @ Wallington. Wonder if there was an in joke lost in mists of time? #SuperbOwlSunday

Steve JacksonSo I checked out the link to the RHS Digital Collections site posted by @coastalhistory and a search revealed one result for #Fawsley, my local #OnePlaceStudy. I already knew that Lancelot 'Capability' Brown had worked on Fawsley Park, but how marvellous to see the entry in his account book for that work! https://collections.rhs.org.uk/view/4167/the-account-book-of-lancelot-brown-capability-brown-the-great-landscape-gardener-of-fenstanton-hants?q=must,any,contains,fawsley&offset=0&limit=12
