Chartwell.
"The years from 1931 to 1935, apart from my anxiety on
public affairs, were personally very pleasant to me. I earned
my livelihood by dictating articles which had a wide circulation not only in Great Britain and the United States, but also,
before Hitler s shadow fell upon them, in the most famous
newspapers of sixteen European countries. I lived, in fact,
from mouth to hand. I produced in succession the various
volumes of the Life of Marlborough. I meditated constantly
upon the European situation and the rearming of Germany.
I lived mainly at Chartwell, where I had much to amuse me."
