Mansion in England with a Moat

An original photo via
Moated Tudor Mansion, Baddesley Clinton, England.
I guess there must be a draw bridge somewhere. I don't like water anywhere near my house, so I'll have to pass on this one. 

Prince Phillip Playing with Young Prince Charles and Princess Anne

This is animated gif is so fabulous. A young Prince Phillip is riding tricycles with Princess Anne while Prince Charles follows on a pedal tractor with a plow on the front. Great royal family fun!

Green Kitchen

via
This is a wonderful kitchen and I really like this color. The green really sets off the wonderful collection of copper cookware. The two black farm sinks and the black countertops carry out the dark theme. The only white is the ceramic knobs and the dishes, not counting the flour and sugar.

First Leap

Follow the leader! So cute. via

Beautiful Rocking Chair Porch

via
I love the brickwork on the house and the porch floor. There's nothing like a front porch without the upkeep of painted wooden boards. The sky blue ceiling is nice and would be cheerful, even on a rainy day. Enjoy your Sunday. xo

Stairway: Just My Style

I love everything I see. It's all perfect and just my style. via

Tabitha Enjoying a Cat Nap in the Sun

We have cloudy skies and a light rain this morning but Tabitha chases the sun's rays whenever she can. She's very happy that she can stay outside for longer and longer periods now that winter is on its way out. She has discovered some delicious patches of grass to eat that have been buried under deep snow for months and a little nibble is the perfect way to start her day. (my photo)

Now if she just had this lookout, her life would indeed be perfect. via

English Blue-White Striped Primroses

Pale Blue and White Primroses, Aldridge, Walsall UK
These spring flowers never fail to amaze me with their blue and white striped petals and bold yellow centers. I've never seen them in person, only in photographs. I love their leaves too.
