We're in good company.<br /><br />Chedva: <br />Congratulations on your new blog!<br /><br />Lily:<br /> One more hint about Dennis Sever' house: In some of the rooms, there were big piles of lavender in all the corners. When I asked the guide about it later, he told me that houses were so drafty and London smelled so noxious 200 years ago that people would strew lavender on the floor so that when the wind blew in, it would smell better. Love that, don't you?<br /><br />Mary:<br />Just put Hemingford Grey Manor on my list -- thank you -- I'd never heard of it! I learn so much from this blog thanks to you all!<br /><br />Purple Flowers: The beds were unmade, there were whispers coming from other rooms and distant laughter. And a black cat roaming the premises!<br /><br />Pamela Terry and Edward:<br />The food was half-eaten, the sherry glasses were half-empty and we were convinced the owner of the house was going to reappear and throw us into the Old Bailey. :)Lisa Borgnes Giramontihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708026781435832810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-57855507206826361342012-04-09T20:49:41.158-07:002012-04-09T20:49:41.158-07:00Modern Traditionalist: Thank you for your sleuthin...Modern Traditionalist: Thank you for your sleuthing skills -- I can't believe that Piero is right!

(You chose the right week to visit as Easter weekend has been cold, windy and rainy.)<br /><br />I finally got round to visiting Dennis Severs' house just before Christmas ... you're so right, it feels haunted. Benign, busy ghosts, I felt, in the parlour and in the kitchen (it was full of warm, spicy scents as they had been baking) but the attic felt steeped in misery. <br />Some day you must visit Hemingford Grey Manor, second oldest inhabited house in the country ... now that really does feel haunted!maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-20126969219394640102012-04-09T17:19:33.160-07:002012-04-09T17:19:33.160-07:00I've been awaiting this all day!
