Hampshire

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, once rented this house and apparently Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


came to stay here. The stained glass windows look a bit Burne Jones-ish.


But, gosh, it rained and rained and the wisteria drooped


and the lawn became a sponge


and the rabbit did his best to blend in with the gravel.
 

The roses looked a bit battered


but none of the above deterred the English women walking dogs
 -- wearing jackets and boots (June 13th ha!)


Inside the house was serene.
