Blaise Hamlet Cottages, Bristol England

This must be Rose Cottage.
I've never even heard of this hamlet but now I must go. Blaise Hamlet is a hamlet in north-west Bristol England, composed of a complex of small cottages around a green. They were built around 1811 for retired employees of Quaker banker and philanthropist John Scandrett Harford, who owned Blaise Castle House. The hamlet was designed by John Nash, master of the Picturesque style. He had worked for Harford on other buildings. The cottages are now owned by the National Trust. They are still occupied and not open to the public, but the ensemble may be viewed from the outside. All the cottages, and the sundial on the green (which is accessible to the public), are Grade I listed buildings. Rose Cottage is now rented out by the National Trust as a holiday cottage. image source
There is a composit of all the cottages HERE on Flickr.
What a wonderful man John Harford must have been. The whole concept gives me goose bumps, and knowing he carried it out is simply wonderful. This must be one of the most charming places in all of England. Have a great weekend.

Kate and William Dueling w/ Magic Wands

Last april, the royal couple toured one of the main locations for Harry Potter films and got a short lesson in wand wizzard fighting and of course they mastered it right away, perfectly and effortlessly. She was wearing a white maternity dress with black polka dots and a black jacket and looked absolutely wonderful. via

Ask THE BOOK SEER For Reading Recommendations



I filled in my most recently read book.


These birding books were recommended. Cool.
This is so wonderful and exciting. If you've ever read a book on a specific subject and want to read similar books, The Book Seer is your GO TO website. She (the man calls her Madam) did an excellent job of finding more general birding books for me as well as very specific target books about some of the characters in the book I just finished: The Big Year by Mark Obamascik. Good job. I love this site and so will you. It's like having your very own personal librarian. Rosemary
