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!

I love all the old homes, stately or otherwise.
Me too Sally, I visit loads!
The doll house is amazing
It certainly is Sadje
I love miniatures
My father produced miniatures. You might like to take a look at this Sadje.

Oh I will. Thanks
Wow, amazing. What beautiful work.
Thanks for these pictures. I only get to see anything English via your comedy shows at this point, the real thing is so much nicer!
I’m pleased I can bring it a bit closer! Thanks so much.
What a fab walk much better than Hyde Park good captures inside and love that Doll’s house (◑ ͜ر ◑)
Have a butlertastic week 👍
… but you’ve got the marvellous Marble Arch Mound Steve!!!
What a grand house! But the Dolls house is MAGNIFICENT! I would have loved that as a kid!
They are very nervous about kids getting anywhere near it now! Cheers Lydia.
I would love to go for a walk with you, Keith. Beautiful place.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Keith. 🙂
I wish you could Sandee! thanks so much.
What a lovely place! Those old homes are so pretty, i would be afraid to live in something so splendid, i’d always be afraid fo messing something up.
Me too, I’m far too clumsy! Cheers, Mimi.
Such a lovely stroll. Very nice pics. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week
That’s really kind of you, thanks so much.
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.
I keep forgetting to change blogs, but I think you know who I am by now!
Oh, I know who you are!!
I admit to doing that too when I can, but apart from the doll’s house, I didn’t stand a chance here!
Love it. Such a beautiful home. Glad you were able to grab a few shots inside despite the rules.
It was great, just a shame the beer barrels were empty!
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!
A lovely stroll around the gardens and mansion. That first shot is quite cinematic! And the dollhouse is impressive 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed them, thank you so much.
I would love to see this one day. Just beautiful and an insight of what living was like back when.
Things were very different back then.. Thanks for dropping by.
What a lovely place I’d like to visit. Thank you for the tour.
