Seven more chairs from Standen (National Trust).
The house currently has a 1970's theme/exhibition, which will be taken down at the end of October.
Standen always put on a wonderful Christmas display and it will be interesting to see what they do this year.
Stourhead was one of the first country villas to be built in the new Palladian style. The central part of the house was destroyed by fire in 1902 but was restored and completed in 1907. It was given to the National Trust in 1947.
Its world-famous landscape garden has a magnificent lake, classical temples and grottoes with rare and exotic trees. Unfortunately, on the day I visited the lake had been partially drained for renovation work. What water remained was covered in algae and the Pantheon was covered in scaffolding and sheeting for restoration work. Such is life!
You can ‘TRUST’ me when I say I will be thrilled when the leaves have all fallen from the trees. This photo is only today’s contribution.
(so far, hubby has taken 83 bags of leaves to the local compost drop-off)
The glow of the sun gets bright around sunset, helps me realize that this is just a journey, stop your worries, you are gonna turn out fine...
Trust that your soul has a plan, and even if you can’t see it completely, know that everything will unfold as it is meant to.
Love between A and her father. The world could fall together around them without they noticed it in this moment.

I had been searching for a Mother, and I have found her in the Catholic Church. Nay, the Church itself is the Mother of the faithful. In her motherly hands, severity is tempered by mildness; discipline conduces to a healthy freedom; inebriation and sobriety, feeling and dogma, emotion and reason are duly balanced; the Sacraments are the regular channels of grace and the Holy Spirit; the Bible is a part of a living tradition, the liturgical year is a tree planted by the streams of water, bearing flowers and yielding fruits for each season; asceticism becomes a source of gaiety and festivity; sanctity becomes the true romance of life; and mysticism is transformed into a living fountain of virtues. There is unity in diversity, and diversity in unity. True individuality is realized in catholicity. St. Thérèse has said it for me, “Fear makes me shrink, whereas under love’s sweet rule I not only advance—I fly.”

Today we went to Knole (National Trust). The house is very grand and there are many chairs, but most are throne like upholstered chairs, and they are all lined up against a wall. So I only managed to snap 3 chairs for my National Trust lone chair project and one of those was a chair for the volunteers.
I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. - Psalm 143:8
We stopped off at the National Trust gardens and café - morning drinks, stroll round the garden and grounds and then lunch. It did rain at times but not too much.
