Photos #3

And this is the last set of photos up to date, as well.

When I got back from Auntie Joyce I needed to "escape" so met up with Christine and we went to my local National Trust property ... a lovely break, even though we got wet, and nice to see something local.

Killerton House is an eighteenth century house, that always has a fasion display as well ... so a lovely trip (& Christine paid for the food, so even better 🤣 )

Evening gowns - 1920's

Thanks for the beautiful photos. I love house tours.

Do you still have bears in England?

[debris4spike]

Thanks - it is nice to be able to share our beautiful heritage with others

No (thankfully) ... although back in the late 1700's it was the "done thing" for rich sons to go on a "Grand Tour" (mostly to Europe) and to bring home souveneirs .... most just brought back new wall hangings!

How lovely - I am particularly taken with the bear hut!

Thanks - that hut is fun (the other window is actually stained glass!!)

What a pretty house! I love the interior rooms!

It is a lovely place ... and most of it actually feels quite "homely" as well as showing the stunning history.
