Pics!

Keith's Ramblings

For Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!

.

A few weeks ago I took you around the country and showed you some of the beautiful houses I’ve visited. Today I thought I’d take you inside a few of them.

The picture quality in some is not brilliant, partly because flash photography  is often not permitted. However, I hope what you are about to see gives you an impression of what I saw!

Let’s start at Petworth House

Finally, another library. This one’s in Wells Cathedral

    Wonderful photos, Keith. Amazing oppulence and elegant style. Love the kitchen at Petworth House and the libraries: Nostrel and Rudyard Kipling’s at Batemans.

    Superb share. Thanks for taking us along on your travels, Keith.

    Wow! The opulence is out of this world. Beautiful homes. I just want to ensconce myself in one of those chairs in one of those libraries…

    I cannot even imagine being able to tour these wonderful pieces of history. I love the old royals’ dramas- and anything from the 17 and 18 century- so this would be a dream come true for me! Thank you soooo much for sharing the pix.

      I wish you could join me, Jodi! There are so many of these wonderful buildings, there’s no way I could ever visit them all.

    I always love to see how others lived in a different time. Beautiful. I would love to see all this in person.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

    What a wonderful post. I love this. Esp Churchill’s art studio and Kipling’s library. But my fav is the cellar. I wish you saw my smile as I delighted in each pic as it scrolled up!

      I’m guessing you are a fellow National Trust member then – don’t worry, I got it!

    It’s hard to imagine living in a place like any of those photos. How long it would take to build and decorate like they are but so very magnificent!
