Thursday Thoughts – More from Great Dixter

As this was my favourite house and garden on the tour, I will post some more from both the garden and indoors. The interior was very special, and the windows amazingly beautiful.

On entering the house, the light from the many windows and the open architectural solution made for an immediate love. In the header you can see the second floor and some more modern architecture.

I loved the seemingly wild and random, unorganized looks of the garden – even if I knew there is a design behind it. For more facts, please visit Jude again!

The nursery is a must see in every garden – and maybe buy a little something…which I of course did! Thank you for walking with me – hope to see you in my next garden walk too.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Teal or Turquoise

Last week I missed out on the challenge, but this week, with Teal or Turquoise, I knew exactly where to go…to my husbands cousin. The Turqoise Lady. These are all from her home. so, Let’s go inside!

And, seen through the mirror – the painted stairway!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Walk 100 steps or less and take new photos

This I have never tried before – taking photos almost where I stand right now. 100 steps, I think this  little tour was about… 40? But, tonight there is a blizzard and I hear it roaring. When I had walked the dogs, about 6 pm, I’d had enough and stayed inside. So, indoor photos then – and only a quick look outdoors …

Tiger lily standing proudly in my window. It’s always in flower this time of the year.

It’s getting dark, so I turn on the lights in my other rooms. But, the days have grown longer and light is still lingering when I’m back from work.

Now I’m going to open the door to our garden – the wind should be hiding behind the house today if my calculations are right…

No walking on the roof today though… Last time we lit the fire for a cosy evening, the smoke sneaked in instead of out. The ladder was left there just in case…
