Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the historian, gardener and diarist Sir Roy Strong.

He stormed the establishment in the 1960s - a proto-meritocrat, in possession of a sharp mind, fizzing ambition and a brown velvet frock coat.

An avowedly unhappy and clever child he turned first to history and then art for stimulation and solace, setting down a template for a working life that would lead him to be the youngest ever director of the National Portrait Gallery and, later, to run the The Victoria and Albert Museum. Such early success left him with a fundamental problem - having fulfilled his wildest dreams by the age of 38 - what was he to do with the rest of his life? He would go on to publish his diaries and together with his wife Julia, created a garden at his home in Herefordshire, the Laskett.



克斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是历史学家、园丁和日记家罗伊-斯特朗爵士。

他在20世纪60年代冲进了体制内--一个原贵族，拥有敏锐的头脑、炽热的野心和一件棕色天鹅绒连衣裙。

他是一个自称不快乐而又聪明的孩子，他首先转向历史，然后转向艺术以寻求刺激和安慰，为他的工作生活制定了一个模板，使他成为国家肖像馆有史以来最年轻的馆长，后来又经营维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆。这样的早期成功给他留下了一个基本问题--在38岁时实现了他最疯狂的梦想--他的余生该怎么过？他后来出版了自己的日记，并与妻子朱莉娅一起在他位于赫里福德郡的家中创建了一个花园--拉斯凯特。
