debris4spikeWell I did say, after my depressing post yesterday, that I would post photos.
Christine and I went to Knightshayes Court on the Saturday before Christmas ... a lovely trip (although all my trips with her are always fun). We had been a couple of years ago, but wanted to see it decorated for a Victorian Christmas. Each room had a fact sheet about a specific detail about the celebration.
We also stayed so that we could see the lit grounds, and were not dissappointed at all
The house
The library
The dining room
The Snooker Table had a train set on it
I loved the idea of Santa Clau going to Church
Apparently with themistletoe, when you steal a kiss you have to take one of the berries, and when they have all gone, then no more kissing!
In the grounds ... this model is a similar size to my 2 boys ... Miss you Jaykub & DJ
Love the topiary
