Anticipating future pleasures adds to the enjoyment, I think. Highclere would be a lovely place to visit, but alas, it's not on our itinerary. I hope we get to see another grand estate.

I do hope you have a wonderful time. I do miss Downton and was pleased that everyone was happy in the end, I do like all the loose threads to be tied up. The Cotswolds are very pretty with lots of lovely and quaint villages which I'm sure you will enjoy:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-90333674672391705282016-03-08T01:34:24.002-07:002016-03-08T01:34:24.002-07:00So many lovely things to comment on here.

I almost went to Highclere last Summer, wish I had done. The Cotswolds are gorgeous!! If you go to Burford at all, visit Huffkins tea rooms!! The Hyancinth is glorious too!!!

I've always wanted to learn how to watercolor and that is my inspiration. I love the poem and the final line - 'hyacinths for the soul'. I have to have flowers just for that reason. The scent of fresh laundry is very satisfying. I find myself burying my nose in the clean towels :) I subscribe to Victoria and Tea-time - another gift for the soul. I have the very first issue of Victoria and have loved it ever since. Your trip sounds wonderful. You must be positively giddy. I missed the last episode of Downton - I can't believe I missed it. I am going to buy the series, so I will get to see it over and over and over :) Hope your week is as lovely as this post was to me.
