I just wanted to mention that one of your photos maybe 35 or 36 has an interesting 'mushroom' shaped statuary by the pond. As far as I know that 'mushroom' would have been one of 4 -6 and would have had a granary on the top of it (rats couldn't get past the mushroom). FYI. Thought you'd like to know.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873738272799176944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-58617665492391789162013-01-25T10:10:05.474-05:002013-01-25T10:10:05.474-05:00Denise thanks for sending me here.

Since I'm a follower I don't know how I missed it, but then my blog reading is erratic with my mother so close to death, I am with her a lot of the time. Your pictures are fantastic and yes, I loved the countryside the best. I should look up my old post about "tea in Dorset" for that was a favorite memory of mine. Such history there compared to our country, and especially the south where we tend to tear down anything historic! (at least in my city). I think all my photos are mostly pre-digital as well, so there aren't so many.<br /><br />podsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880888514207597761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-85918014681641086992013-01-25T07:03:20.945-05:002013-01-25T07:03:20.945-05:00Thanks for your visit and comments Denise.

This place looked so wonderful and it's so nice that the owner was so nice and accommodating. I'm sure that made you trip that much nicer. I have to say, the photo looking out the window into the garden is my favorite.

I don't now if I told you but the only European country we visited was Ireland. We would love to visit England and Scotland, too. You must've really got the feel of England by staying in the residence of the owners. We were on a tour bus and while it was wonderful, we always had to keep moving. <br />Yes, I watch Downton Abbey, also!! I missed last week so I have two to watch this evening.

I don't think I have ever been to Bedfordshire. We were in Stratford upon Avon in September, great place. There are so many wonderful places to visit here, well we live in Surrey which is beautiful!! We love Dorset, evon and Cornwall for holidays but this year we are going to Portmeirion and North Wales.You will see from a recent post that my hubby and I went to Windsor to the theatre, have you visited there and Eton?<br /><br />Please visit, http://jackieinsurrey.blogspot.co.uk/<br /><br />Jackie in Surrey, UK.http://jackieinsurrey.blogspot.co.uk/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08337359415034741431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-81603983148478792342013-01-12T00:20:54.124-05:002013-01-12T00:20:54.124-05:00My friend and I sure hope to take another trip to ...My friend and I sure hope to take another trip to England and so to answer your question, we want to stay in country inns or better yet rent a small little house and live the life of an English lady in Yorkshire in Bronte Country. Isn't is fun to revisit your trip and share it? I love the sign "Mind your Head" or "Mind Your Step." You were very fortunate to be able to drive yourselves around and not be bound to a tour bus. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures. And I am glad that you appreciate my Bronco page. Bronco fans were not too sure that John Elway knew what he was doing hiring Payton Manning. They were pretty up set about losing Tebow. Manning was a risk, but John did know what he was doing and Denver has embraced Payton--not to mention that he has lead his team to the play-offs. It will be very cold tomorrow for the game, but did you know that the football field is blanketed tonight and tomorrow the grass will be between 50-60 degrees so that when the players get tacked or fall the grass will be nice and warm. There are miles and miles of pipe underneath the playing field that heat the field with steam. Now isn't that interesting? Loved your post. annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271182300590181890.post-69240269181039692352013-01-11T21:58:27.475-05:002013-01-11T21:58:27.475-05:00Oh Denise, thank, you, thank you for letting us go...Oh Denise, thank, you, thank you for letting us go along with you!!
