John waited for us at the pier:

to be met by An Artist (photo by Roxanne) who seemed to be expecting us although we weren't expecting him, and who gave us a mercifully short lecture:
Then off to visit the house (photo by Roxanne):

and gardens after the rain stopped and the sun fitfully reappeared (Katy, Kylie, and the Heathers on a rhododendron-petal carpet, photo by Roxanne):
