This is such a lovely post Rosie. I think I must have read your mind because I was only talking about this cottage the other day. We visited it when we lived in Stafford many moons ago!

A very interesting post Rosie, the cottage is really pretty and the garden looks lovely. I would enjoy a good look around in person but your blog is the next best thing!
It makes a nice change that they didn't mind you taking photos inside, most places around here won't allow it which always seems a bit mean to me!

glad you enjoyed the post, simone:)

the inside isn't particularly scary, rosie - although if you didn't know that the figure of Izaak was there he would make you jump - must be my photographs.

lois, I think the spotlights and my flash made the walls look extra white - the rabbits and game birds in the pantry were part of the display to show how people kept and preserved food and were probably done by a taxidermist or freeze dried for the display. It's not something I like to see but it was what people used to do:)

teresa, welcome and and I'm so glad you enjoyed the post, hope to see you here again:)

Are the rabbits real hanging in the kitchen area? I loved the first photo as you caught the walnut tree in the foreground of your photo. When I look into my backyard I see my huge walnut tree with the walnuts at the same stage.
Before I read your comments,I imagined what the cottage would have felt like without all that white shiney paint on the interior walls, and did get the same feeling as Rosie said.
The grounds are beautiful, and what a nice idea to be able to buy snippings. Beautiful post.

The cottage does look very pretty on the outside and a lovely place to visit but it looks a little bit scarey inside. Really enjoyed learning all about it though, thanks.

That was a lovely post Rosie, full of interesting facts. I am going to go back and re-read it and follow the links too. I bet the Lavender Hedge smelt wonderful!
