I enjoyed getting to use some of our new sand green parts, and small castles/manors are always fun to build.

Wightwick Manor is a Victorian era house built to resemble an Elizabethan style manor house but equipped with all of the mod cons of the late 19th century, including electricity (DC powered by an on-site generator), indoor plumbing, central heating and even a venting/cooling system.
Taking inspiration from a lecture on 'the House Beautiful' by Oscar Wilde, the first owner's son, Theodore, and his wife Flora decorated its interiors with the designs of William Morris and his Arts and Crafts contemporaries. The house portrays life during the Victorian era with original Morris wallpapers and fabrics, De Morgan tiles, Kempe glass, and many Pre-Raphaelite works of art. It is one of only a few surviving examples of a house built and furnished under the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement.
Wightwick was built in two phases; the first was completed in 1887 and the house was extended in 1893 just to provide accommodation for the family's guests.
The house was first offered to the National Trust in 1936, but it was turned down because the house was only 50 years old! The following year the owners sweetened the pot by offering an endowment to maintain the house and the NT accepted. The offer included a proviso that the family could continue to occupy part of the house (which they did until 1986) while the rest was open to the public.
During JJ's week off work Matt and Sophie took us to Manor Farm, a local attraction that is home to many animals and farm buildings as well as the odd tractor!
Manor Farm opened in 1984 as the Manor Farm museum and has since developed into a family-focused visitor attraction within the setting of the historic village run by Hampshire County Council. The site includes historic buildings that link to the heritage of the site and the original museum including a forge, wheelwrights, farmhouse and Victorian schoolhouse. The ancient duckpond and the neighbouring St Bartholomew's Church also form part of the location.
Popular activities on offer at the farm include feeding, walking and seeing the animals and a large galvanised steel roundhouse was erected on the site in 2019 in order to house the animals while visitors could watch form the included viewing gallery. Other on-site facilities include a visitor centre and gift shop located in the 18th century threshing barn, a large indoor children's play area - the Playbarn, a cafe for visitors as well as amenities such as toilets and an education centre for visiting school groups.
Manor Farm was the location for the historical documentary TV series Wartime Farm, broadcast by the BBC in 2012.

I wanted to do something a little creepy and worn for this Halloween. So I made a few pieces to go together that could be used in a nook corner or against a wall area. See main set along with other curtain and rugs sets to match on our Flickr.

Springton Manor, now a Chester County (PA) park, was one of William Penn's designated manors when he was given Pennsylvania. The large oaks on the left are considered William Penn Trees because they were living when William Penn was settling Pennsylvania.
Waddesdon is a country manor built in the late 1800s to resemble a French château for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Its main purpose was to impress "fashionable" society and be a venue for lavish parties.
It was not the Baron's principal residence and he spent very little time here when not entertaining. It also houses an immense collection of rare art, porcelain, furniture, etc. It easily rivals anything the French have in the Loire Valley.

During the 1960's until the early 1980's petrol stations used to give trading stamps, usually Green Shield, which you stuck in a book. When full the books could be exchanged for goods advertised in the Green Shield catalogue. In the war to attract motorists garages would give double or triple stamps.
Railway enthusiasts adopted the phrase for a double header, or in the case of the triple headed Llanwern iron ore trains, a triple header.
