They reminded me of happy visits to Powys Castle which is lovely in all seasons and weathers but perhaps particularly in the beautiful weather you had. I await a fantastic novel inspired by your visit!

It also gets me into numerous art galleries and museums in London and elsewhere, so I reckon it's really good value - and you're helping to save important pictures, furniture and objets d'art for the nation, too.<br /><br />Whenever I see the sexy portrait of John Donne in the National Portrait Gallery, I think: I helped to buy that - even if only a square millimetre of it!Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-48916945706396963722014-06-07T09:23:52.718+01:002014-06-07T09:23:52.718+01:00I certainly am - my next Sarah Mallory romance is ...I certainly am - my next Sarah Mallory romance is set here :-).

I do agree about the 'What if?' factor - especially when I saw a curtain of wisteria almost covering a conveniently secluded space.<br /><br />And it struck me that a nimble gentleman might be able to race along one of the terraces, shoot down the stairs, and waylay the lady of his choice before the chaperone appeared!Elizabeth Hawksleyhttp://www.elizabethhawksley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955239.post-69053426135385532922014-06-06T09:16:01.932+01:002014-06-06T09:16:01.932+01:00I so enjoyed your post, Elizabeth.

When a property has lasted through so many generations of births, marriages, deaths and inheritances it contains countless stories all waiting to be told.<br /><br />Jane JacksonJane Jacksonhttp://www.janejackson.netnoreply@blogger.com
