It would be a great place to take a picnic and a book, and they encourage that. Maybe we don't need a country house at all, just a membership to this one!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-80260198448595447742015-07-10T13:29:17.021-07:002015-07-10T13:29:17.021-07:00Wow!

It's the kind of place I could easily move into, not too big, not too small - for a country estate!<br />I'm sorry to hear the Latin names are being dropped. They're a universal language and dropping them will cause much confusion. What you call a 'ragged robin' may not be what I call a 'ragged robin'. But a plant by a Latin name is the same everywhere (unless it's mislabeled). Just another example of 'dumbing down'.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-83629878761525352262015-07-05T06:24:38.617-07:002015-07-05T06:24:38.617-07:00I thought I had commented on this - must have done...I thought I had commented on this - must have done it in my head! Thanks for the great photos, it looks a lovely place to visit.<br />I also love the Latin plant names so I was sorry to hear recently that 'they' are going to give up using Latin as they believe it puts people off somehow. It's crazy because when we were in Holland it was great that the plant names were the same as in the UK, I wouldn't have known them in Dutch.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138715309807238198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-3732929444394210482015-06-29T04:48:48.556-07:002015-06-29T04:48:48.556-07:00We were really impressed, too.

Canada lilies hang like those, so maybe they're some variety of them.<br />As long as our guest room is available, you're welcome to head east for a weekend!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-86506371365210348742015-06-28T18:40:00.373-07:002015-06-28T18:40:00.373-07:00Gorgeous, Joan.

It's not all that pretentious, not like the 50K sq. ft. houses of todays rich people. <br />The photos aren't the best quality. I always forget my camera and have to impose on my husband to take pictures with his Iphone. I think I'm more into being in the experience instead of recording it. But I'm glad you liked the photos.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-83073680381605343032015-06-27T03:40:51.946-07:002015-06-27T03:40:51.946-07:00Great pics!
