Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). Since this was the preferred style of the Rothschild's it became also known as the Goût Rothschild. The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors. The Baron wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley. The Baron, a member of the Viennese branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty, chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy. Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord. However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate. The structural design of Waddesdon, however, was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors. The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son. The towers were modelled on the staircase towers of Château de Chambord. One of the twin staircase-towers inspired by those at the Château de Maintenon. Once his château was complete, Baron Ferdinand installed his extensive collections of French 18th-century tapestries, boiseries, furniture and ceramics, English and Dutch paintings and Renaissance works of art. Extensive landscaping was carried out and the gardens enhanced with statuary, pavilions and an aviary. The Proserpina fountain was brought to the manor at the end of the 19th Century from the Palace of the Dukes of Parma in northern Italy: the Ducal Palace of Colorno. The gardens and landscape park were laid out by the French landscape architect Elie Lainé. An attempt was made to transplant full-grown trees by chloroforming their roots, to limit the shock. While this novel idea was unsuccessful, many very large trees were successfully transplanted, causing the grounds to be such a wonder of their day that, in 1890, Queen Victoria invited herself to view them. The Queen was, however, more impressed by the electric lighting in the house than the wonders of the park. Fascinated by the invention she had not seen before, she is reported to have spent ten minutes switching a newly electrified 18th-century chandelier on and off. When Baron Ferdinand died in 1898, the house passed to his sister Alice de Rothschild, who further developed the collections. Baron Ferdinand's collection of Renaissance works and a collection of arms were both bequeathed to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest". During World War II, children under the age of five were evacuated from London and lived at Waddesdon Manor. Following Alice de Rothschild's death in 1922, the property and collections passed to her great-nephew James A. "Jimmy" de Rothschild of the French branch of the family, who further enriched it with objects from the collections of his late father Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. When James de Rothschild died in 1957, he bequeathed Waddesdon Manor, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of grounds and its contents to the National Trust, to be preserved for posterity. The Trust also received their largest ever endowment from him: £750,000 (£15,310,270 as of 2014).

Henry V111 made a good job of destroying many of the UK's monastic abbeys, however at Fountains Abbey even despite his best efforts there is still a great deal that has survived.
Fountains Abbey was built from 1132 and is regarded as the most complete abbey ruin in the UK. As well as being managed by English Heritage and the National Trust this property is registered as a World Hereitage Site.
The National Trust has laid on a week of illumination at the abbey so we took a punt on the weather being dry and went along last night. Thankfully there is plenty of space so the evening was about as Covid friendly as can be achieved.
I trust her about as far as I can throw her. Luckily for her, I'm strong. And she's light as a feather.
Here’s to the soulful wanderers who don’t always know where they’re going, but trust that they’ll end up where they belong 💫💙

This old bank is now being used as a residence. It's an odd choice, but if the bank's not using it anymore and someone wants it, why not?

Our lab/pit mix, Hannah, who was kind enough to pose for me so I could try out my new Lightscoop for my pop-up flash and bounce the light off the ceiling.
"A good girl is better than millions of bitches
But one bitch can leave you with millions of stitches
And I don't want to say I'm that bitch but I'll never be a Mrs
I'm just going to say you'll never see me in the kitchen
Cooking up some breakfast for someone who doesn't care
Busting my ass for someone who's not there
It's not fair, it's not fair
Please don't tell me you want me
Please don't say you do
Honestly, it's not you it's me
I just have trust issues
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
I'm just letting you know I'm emotionally unavailable
I'd love to reciprocate your love but I'm incapable
I know that you don't get it, but I'm just so unstable
And all I could think about is how you'd be unfaithful
You think that I am crazy
But that, that does not phase me
And no, you cannot change me
Just know you cannot save me
You say you love me so much but I don't want your love
You say you love me so much but I don't want your love
No, no
Please don't tell me you want me
Please don't say you do
Honestly, it's not you it's me
I just have trust issues
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
I think I think too much
Or maybe you don't think enough
But one of us is right, and one of us is wrong
And one of us is leading the other one on
And I don't want to say I wouldn't date you
And I could never say that I hate you
I mean I guess I could, but it ain't true
I swear it's me, not you
Please don't tell me you want me
Please don't say you do
Honestly, it's not you it's me
I just have trust issues
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
Trust issues with trusting you
I got issues with trusting you
I could never, never
I could never, never
I could never, never
I could never, never"
