Lovely English Cottage

Give me a good English cottage any day. Love this one. Scanned from a 2004 edition of Architectural Digest I picked up at the recycling depot on Tuesday. I could never have those yew hedges at my house. The deer around here consider yew to be candy. I am totally against trying to grow anything on their eat list so I am somewhat limited. They don't like English boxwood and that is a very good thing. I must get my passport renewed. England is calling.

Love,
Susan and Bentley

PS: Good movies to get in the mood are Howard's End, Miss Potter, 84 Charing Cross Road and The Holiday.; February 4, 2010 at 1:29 PM

Marilyn said...: Oh Rosemary, what wonderful pictures you have put up. The cottage, the beds, that great poster. I lived in England as a child and it's been calling me too, but I read a lot of blogs from there, so I get a little dose that way.

Rhondi said...: Hi Rosemary. I like the name of your blog and I too love England. We also have major problems with deer! I am glad to meet you but I am wondering why you linked up with me for Thankful Thursday, since your post isn't about that:)
