I’m off to England at the end of the week and this has inspired me to show you some of the adorable houses in West Sussex, where my sister lives.
What do you prefer?
Shakespearian with wonky beams…
… Or a cottage
With a thatched roof;
A leafy green window
Making art in the summer sun;
Or perhaps a house with iron railings
And bejewelled cobwebs.
The most popular house in England is probably the pub —
Now with gourmet food and a great sense of humour!

THey are all adorable. In post-graduate studies, I enjoyed most of all courses in English literature. And I’m a Downton Abbey fan. Does that count too? Thanks for a different perspective today and safe travels to the United Kingdom. I’m sure you’ll find many photo mementos there.

smiles, it depends, is the place that requires beer money wonky or thatched? If it is wonky then wonky if it is thatched it is thatched. But, since am kinda organic in form myself I tend to be more thatched. I’ll never forget the thatched crofter cottages on the Isle of Skye. My last name is Sutherland so I have a Scottish bent.

in uno dei miei viaggi in GB sono stata anche io molto affascinata da questo tipo di romantiche case e dai loro tetti molto strani, la casa di Shakespeare a Stratford on Avon, poi mi è sembrata particolarmente minuscola, quasi non fosse stata abitata da un uomo così GIGANTE
buona giornata mia cara Lady
in one of my trips in the UK are also very fascinated by this kind of romantic homes and from their very strange roofs, the home of Shakespeare in Stratford on Avon, then it seemed particularly tiny, almost had not been inhabited by a GIANT man

I love the thatched roof – it reminds me of my favourite book when I was little about “Milly Molly Mandy” who lived in a thatched roof house in a little village in England. I love the idea of the crèche for husbands! I think here we call it the “men’s shed”.
Have a wonderful trip to England. Thank you for stopping by my blog this week.
