Ragley Hall is rather lovely - the posh types of years gone by knew a thing or two about building pleasing houses with gorgeous landscaping, didn't they? And the colours on that peacock are just stunning!

I really want to do more documenting about out and about and interesting places, but I live in the midwestern US, so no great estates, but we have our own treasures I'm sure. Your wardrobe/look is clean and fresh, and comfy. I need to be brave and pair down further.

I love peacocks! We were staying in a B&B once, where they had peacocks and peahens with what we called "pea-babies", who were so cute. I would need to do a clear-out too, and I really do, once in a while, but still the clutter seems to accumulate. Oh well. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189518655554521298.post-16691325974097148652016-03-30T09:29:57.436+01:002016-03-30T09:29:57.436+01:00Hi Claire, I absolutely agree with your comments a...Hi Claire, I absolutely agree with your comments about after office clothes.

Hubby's great great grandparents were from there listed on the census as servant and gardener. I said they could have possibly worked at Ragley Hall. And the best bit, twenty years on they were living right in Birmingham City centre !! Beggars belief but I suppose they went with the work .
