We're having a bit of decorating done.
If only our exterior had deteriorated as artistically
as these railings at Ham House,
I'd have been tempted to leave well alone.
Now I am wondering if I can face emptying the kitchen
of pots and pans
so that Paul can get in there while we are away.
He has offered to tend the garden too
but can he be trusted with the topiary?
Awesome - love your photography - of to have a grand home - and someone to do the housework ;-)
ReplyDeleteI see that I had a typing mistake in my message above!
ReplyDeleteI meant to say 'Oh to have a grand home'
Made me laugh out loud! :O))))
ReplyDeleteI followed Marilyn onto your blog and I did laugh. I was thinking "My what kithchen she has!!" I love the big houses of England. I have been lucky to have visited a few and loved the history stories that went with them. Goog luck with the renovating!
ReplyDeleteI just read about you sitting in the thatched cottage ...on Marilyn's blog. Oh what a picture you painted. Thatched cottages are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIs Ham House across the river from Kew Gardens? If it is, I remember gazing at it when I lived in London,and used to visit kew Gardens, and wondering about it. I love those National Trust properties, we love visiting them. Isn't that topiary to die for! Love Vanessa xxx
ReplyDeletePlayful fantasy portrayed here. If only we all had kitchens and gardens like this?
