I love Mitford and its inhabitants and have enjoyed revisiting the series over and over. It's a dream of mine to visit Blowing Rock someday. So it was a blessing to "visit" there by means of your photos and commentary.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-28476634002715403612015-02-21T22:21:05.390-05:002015-02-21T22:21:05.390-05:00Lovely, Denise.

I have not been up there for a couple of years but I long to make a trip there sometime this summer. I had already looked into house rentals. One of my friends has been calling me while there and told me , you better get on up here the daytime temps are in the mid 50's and I am sweltering here in N FL. I love the downtown shops too and have bought many things from some the wonderful antique shops there. Your post made me want to get up there ASAP. I do have the entire Mitford series but have not read them and they would make excellent summer reading. I will definitely get them down and begin reading them, you have inspired me to do so. I thoroughly enjoyed your post.<br /><br />Carolyn/A Southerner's NotebookSoutherncookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205120984091304271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-81775262348494204592012-11-05T23:35:28.978-05:002012-11-05T23:35:28.978-05:00I loved your post and pictures.

I was so excited they were about my favorite little town. I think it's funny, I grumble about the tourists, too. When I guess, if i am truthful, I am one as well. But we are in Blowing Rock so much and it is in my home state, I don't like to think of myself as a tourist. I'm just scouting out my next hometown.
