I'm right in the middle of reading a retelling of what life was for someone in service during the exact days that Baron would have been working on his home, written by a former house-maid when she was in her 90s. It's called "Aprons and Silver Spoons", and is so interesting. They actually lived part of the year in the English countryside, in a Tudor style mansion. The rest of the year was spent in a townhouse in London. To have seen your pictures right now was absolutely perfect timing. <br /><br />I'm very happy that you have your membership too! This way I can enjoy the amazing sights with you. xoLoulouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304074858377805437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-91153532605596799772016-12-20T13:38:44.478+00:002016-12-20T13:38:44.478+00:00oh yes, do go back and see it when the bluebells a...oh yes, do go back and see it when the bluebells are out, it’ll be glorious!HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-27981391505986865202016-12-20T05:06:01.210+00:002016-12-20T05:06:01.210+00:00The photo of you by the pond is so romantic!
