King's College, Cambridge, from the back (or more accurately, from The Backs), with King's College Chapel - one of the most famous sights in the town (a Gothic chapel the size of a grand church, consecrated in 1443), and Clare college to the left.

Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Built 1705-1722 originally for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, as reward for military activities including the Battle of Blenheim. Birthplace in 1874 of Winston Churchill.
Christopher Wren was in the running to be architect but the post was given to John Vanbrugh who was assisted by Hawksmoor. The building is in the ‘English Baroque’ style that paralleled the perhaps more exuberant Continental Baroque. English baroque was soon unfashionable and replaced by the restraint of the Georgian buildings of Edinburgh and Bath.
So many designers have been generous in giving such lovely group gifts lately....Hisa has done just that as well with a beautiful new English Garden Shed...equipped with roses and bushes so you can pretty much set it down and be done! Be sure to wear your group tag to grab the gift..I've paired it with La maisonette D'Aurora by Hisa as well so you can see how perfectly they fit together...Pictured:

Hurley, Berkshire. The parish church was originally part of the benedictine priory founded in 1086, dissolved in 1536
There was a time when we thought that the Anglican Church was as unchangeable and as permanent as the English weather, that the red telephone cubicle was part of an identifiable English character, and that the equally red letter box would be eternal.
"Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else"
The Anglican Church is no longer what it used to be - and its majority is no longer "English". English weather is now a matter of unpredictable surprises, telephone cubicles have been superseded by smart phones, and the Royal Mail is neither royal nor reliable in its delivery of letters. And the English character? You tell me. We in the UK are living among fossilised objects, and if new life is springing up it will in all likelihood have little to do with the Anglican Church, the Royal Mail and Englishness. Let me put it bluntly, it is immigration that is blowing new life into a sclerotised and inelastic body. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
The best way to manage the heath at Kinver Edge sensitively is to graze it with cattle. The National Trust use a herd of English Longhorn cows, an ancient breed, who crush the bracken, chomp on bramble and nibble leaves and grass. Their trampling creates bare sandy areas that bees nest in and releases heather seeds. By roaming around they naturally create a ‘mosaic’ of different habitats across the landscape, which is ideal for wildlife.

The main differences between a Spanish bluebell and an English bluebell are: On the Spanish flower, the bells are all around the stem, not just on one side, which gives the English bluebell its drooping stature. The leaves are wider and bigger. The petals of each bell open wider and flare at the ends rather than curl.
