We have just been on a five day break in Lincolnshire and 'all things mini' was pretty much banned.... I can attest that going 'cold turkey' like this does make you a bit twitchy.
On our way home we visited Nostell Priory, an NT place near Wakefield, for lunch and a bit of a mooch in the sun. I had a sore foot so declined the hike round the lake with my companions and retired to the house for a tour of that. Guess what they have an eighteenth century Dolls house.This has led me to seek out other doll's houses in NT properties - I'll let you know
I was just reading about that house in one of my reference books. How cool to be able to see it up close and in person!
ReplyDeletejust reading about it - how spooky! You really can get right to it. Some lovely items. Mostly I was impressed by its age - 1753 I think???? I didn't even know it existed.
ReplyDeleteApologies for the duff pictures - it was very underlit (to preserve dyes etc I suppose) and you are not allowed to use flash so with no tripod no way to get decent photos myself - these are just 'borrowed' from the web.
ReplyDeleteHi Em! I know what it is like when you are having to have an enforced " Mini Sabbatical". It seems so unnatural.
ReplyDeleteHowever you had the last laugh in the end by discovering the doll's house within the Priory. Score! even with a sore foot!

Must be mini karma!
