Uzgajali su citruse, smokve, začinsko i ukrasno bilje, a na jednoj se čak fotografiji vidi kako Andrić bere paradajz. Imao je u bašti i strašilo za ptice. Jednom je, pričaju u muzeju, morao i da se krije u tom istom vrtu na drvetu smokve. Ne želeći da priča sa izvesnim fra Ivom, Milici je rekao da mu kaže da nije kod kuće i popeo se na smokvu. Ali je Milica rešila da se našali sa svojim mužem, pa je fra Ivu ponudila kafom, a Andrića ostavila na drvetu! O njihovimdanima imamnogo anegdota, između ostalih i ona kada ga je jedan ribar, misleći da je Jurij Gagarin, čiji se dolazak najavljivao, pitao: „Gospodine kosmonaute, kako je tamo gore?“, a Ivomu odgovorio pogledavši unebo: „Ne znam, ali je sigurno bolje nego dole.“ Godineneizmernesrećeutoj kući završenesuposle pet godina, kada jeMilica unjenomdvorištupreminula. Ivo se više nikada nije vratio. Kuću je nasledilaMiličina sestra Danka, koja ju je ponudila Zuku Džumhuru.

He also had a scarecrow in the garden. At the museum they even claim that he once had to hide up a fig tree in the garden. Not wanting to converse with a certain Friar Ivo, he told Milica to tell him that he wasn’t home and climbed the fig tree. But Milica decided to have fun at her husband’s expense, so she offered Friar Ivo a coffee and left Andrić stuck in the tree! Many anecdotes about their days there are recounted, including one about a fisherman who mistook Andrić for Yuri Gagarin, whose arrival had been announced, and asked him: “Mr cosmonaut, how is it up there?” To which Andrić responded by looking skywards and saying “I don’t know, but it’s certainly better than down here…” Their years of unbridled happiness in that house ended after five years, when Milica passed away in her yard. Ivo never returned. The house was inherited by Milica’s sister, Danka, who offered it to Zuko Džumhur. It remains recorded that this great artist said: “who am I to live in Andrić’s house?”This place of the writer’s joy was then bought by the Municipality and became a nursery school, and later a restaurant, only to recently realise its true purpose by being converted into a memorial museum to Andrić and his days spent in Herceg Novi, which he loved so much… Godine neizmerne sreće u toj kući završene su posle pet godina, kada je Milica u njenom dvorištu preminula Their years of unbridled happiness in that house ended after five years, when Milica passed away in her yard Nobelovac Ivo Andrić (1892–1975) na Toploj je podigao svoj domu kom je živeo pet godina Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić (1892 – 1975) spent almost five years in his home in the Topla neighbourhood
