The couple lived in an adorable Elizabethan townhouse with wonky ceilings I just loved! They were going to move because they needed more space with their two little girls, but it was precious. Done in Laura Ashley cowslip yellow and white striped paper (which I also had at hone) and. Ute, cute, cute. Little leaded windows, a precious little garden out back. And we saw Burghley House, too. We had stopped off in route from Scotland to England, and then they went to London with us for the day. I have wonderful memories of this trip! <br /><br />xoxox<br /><br />SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604873252635604126.post-65007650198488975872014-03-01T13:02:11.560+00:002014-03-01T13:02:11.560+00:00Chel, That was a visual feast!

In addition to the places you featured, I might have to take a little detour into the woolen mill I spotted in the sixth photo. <br /><br />This is a place in which one could spend many happy hours exploring, walking and soaking up the historic atmosphere.

Like you, I could study each stone, indentation, or iron railing of a place, whether it be that of a castle or a gardener's cottage. The display of cheery faces at the florist's, the blue doors, the dramatic lamp post with the cloudy sky above, just amazing.
