Little Stoke

This a more of a blast from the past, as Easter Weekend seems so long ago and much has happened since then. While getting sick, and rather bad sick now that I think back, I did manage to roll out of bed and search around the place with the others.

One the first day, we went to a charity yard sale of sorts. It was held within the property of Ian Flemming's home in which he grew up in. What a place. It is a hospice now, and such a beautiful and tranquil space to walk around in. The stalls themselves were within several 'barns' within the plot, and you could really furnish ones home with what you could find; doors, curtains, draws, cupboards, books, kitchen appliances...you name it, you could get it. I'm sure I even saw a kitchen sink, and a mighty nice one it was. This area is rather classy, don't let the whole countryside thing fool you! There wasn't any Louboutins, but you can actually get them in the next town. Just saying.

 

...and this is the house...

It is hard to get the real scale of such a place, but it is honestly one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. And to think someone called this their home as a child. Incredible.
