Robert Loney

Robert Loney is a Canadian who divides his time between his home in southwestern Ontario and the cottage on Lake Huron's Bruce Peninsula. He does some gardening but prefers visiting other people's gardens. His favourite is the one at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England. The Distracted Gardener resulted from his first visit there. He enjoys reading history and biography. Some imagination applied to the history of Chatsworth and its Dukes of Devonshire resulted in the tale. He's a bit of a sucker for the Victorian era and its splendour. Unlike great men who were born before their time, he was probably born after his.
