Third and Final Curtain Call: Outside

This shows the garden and the outside of the house. I must confess that the very last photograph was actually staged; but as I didn’t take it perhaps that can be excused…

From all of us who have lived here, past and present, thank you for your interest in the house; I hope you have enjoyed your visits

Second Curtain Call: Upstairs

This takes us through the first floor rooms and the attic.

 

And for the next and final post we go outside…

First Curtain Call: Downstairs

In this set of three ‘Curtain Call’ posts I will try to show all the places where the things featured in the earlier blog pictures were located. This first post covers the downstairs rooms.

The next post will show the upstairs rooms…

‘The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ…’

Over the past few of months I have found it increasingly difficult to come up with suitable posts for this blog. While it has been very useful to have a tight focus for most of the content I think I have now just about run out of sufficiently good home pictures to show. In addition the visual style of the pictures has been getting rather repetitive. Unfortunately I have not been able to find a different topic and style that works well enough to replace them.

So, sadly, I have decided it is time to put the blog gently to rest. However I will leave the account open in case at some future time some new possibilities emerge. I also hope to still look in occasionally to see what everyone is doing. I have greatly appreciated all your kind comments and the fascinating posts and pictures you have shared. It has been a very great pleasure to see, read (and learn from) them. Thank you!

Streetscape

This picture was a kind gift from our friend Elisa di Saro. She was born in Sardinia but now lives in Treviso, near Venice. She painted it during a visit to a small town in Tuscany. I think it catches the colour and atmosphere of  a narrow Italian street very well- though this photograph (the best of several attempts) does not really do the colours justice.
