for Wordless Wednesday and others
.

Last month I visited Uppark House in West Sussex. Come walk with me!
Click on pics to enlarge!
We’ll start in the meadow.

… and now to the garden.

Photography in the main rooms of the house is not allowed which is a shame as they are magnificent. However I was able to take a picture in the kitchen …
in the butlers accomodation …
the beer cellar …
and I sneaked a picture of the Doll’s House!
Thanks for walking with me!

Hi Keith – it looks so interesting … it’s fascinating to see what absolutely amazing places were built, gardens designed and how the houses worked – we’re lucky so much has been put together for us in recent decades … I’m so glad I live in our age with some ease – lazy me!! Cheers Hilary

The more I visit, the more I’m amazed by what I see. Life before Ikea! Having not been able to fly away for a while, I’ve really made use of my National Trust membership. Thanks, Hilary.

Beautiful photos. The grounds are as lovely as the house. I also turn the flash off and take sneaky photos where I am not supposed to.

Thank you for taking us along on this tour. The grounds are as lovely as the house. And wouldn’t it be interesting to try to cook in that kitchen? A beer cellar is new to me.

As a retired chef, I always find old kitchens interesting. As for the beer cellar, according to the guide at the time the house was built, water was not safe to drink, but turning it to beer purified it. At least, that was their excuse!

You are an excellent photographer, Keith. My favorite of your shots is the second one. Love all these light colors. A pity you weren’t able to click the camera in most of the rooms. Did they tell you the reason? Are they afraid of theft? Emille (Jesh)

That’s so kind of you, it’s amazing what you do with a simple phone these days!
I’m told that camera flashes can damage antiques and paintings over time. The same restriction applied when I visited Tutankhamen’s tomb and the Sistene Chapel.

Sometimes I wonder if the phone will eventually take over the camera …
It’s probably true. I once was blasted by another Greek visitor in the Acropolis museum, and that was with my camera (I had the flash on, to get more light in the image – did not have photoshop back then).

How things have changed. I still fondly remember my little darkroom where I developed rolls of film and printed pictures beneath a red light!
