DEAR LITTLE AUGURY-
ReplyDeleteYou are on fire with inspiration.
This is a brilliant post--so much for inspiration.
I want to go to that stately pile--and see the interiors.
Looks like the perfect day in the English landscape--hazy and slightly damp, and dense green everywhere.
Love it--and will now have to find the book.
Happy days, www.thestylesaloniste.com
DDS, thank You, this is such fun for me, make believe- I have always done this sort of thing as I read, I am a mystery lover, and this one is a good one especially for setting the mood. Gaye
