Blue Witch is marvellous, she's found a brilliant site. Called Geograph, it aims to collect photographs of the entire country, every bit of it, and invites people to submit their photos. Over 80% of the country is represented so far. Here's one of the latest pictures - and of course, I had to look up this area and found one of our house. Old Manor House, indeed. No, it was never that, but it made me chuckle.
It's been a most fine day, because Roses came to lunch. Ben instantly adored her, as you might expect, but she dealt with that very capably and we talked non-stop for hours. We took Ben for a walk on the marshes too, and he had a brilliant time, coming back wet and muddy from splashing in the river. I should have taken a picture of the long line of cows walking back to the farm for milking time - I was more concerned about the chances of Ben getting in their way, but he was perfectly well-behaved - and besides, he then noticed one of his dog friends being taken for a run, so went off to say hello.
And this evening I'm out to supper. The mad social whirl, darlings.
What a busy Z (I nearly spelt busy with a z instead of an s then, sort of appropriate).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your supper.
A change is as good as a rest Z. Enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteIt's not an old Manor House, it's a House of Old Manners!
ReplyDeleteI expect the society pages will do a feature on me at a "country manor house soiree."
ReplyDeleteHope your supper was spiffy.
ReplyDeleteI looked at some of those pics on Geograph..lots of them actually - and have to say, isn't England just the most beautiful land.
What a delightful day/evening! As for "old manor house" no matter what it is called, it looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful time on Geograph and went to bed very late, wandering down Memory Lane - literally. I use Streetview when I feel homesick usually, but it can't go down private roads and show my favourite old house. Geograph has photos from farmland and footpaths that show views that I know very well.
ReplyDeleteOooh, you socialite,you!! x

ReplyDeleteIt seems that the Sage is to the Old Manor House born. It's a great project, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIncredibly georgeous photography. I want to go to there!
