I am touched. I have to admit this article is pretty much the writing of the curator or writer of the brochure. I just picked out what I liked, arranged it and added my photos.

Hub and I are excited about the trip, this time next week we'll be getting ready to go to the airport, yay. Jeanne, I hope you can visit some of theh blogs I listed. You have a lovely writing voice. This post particularly captivates. When we travel, we Yanks are quick to buy books around where we're going. I guess what I'm saying is there's a market for your very pleasing writing voice and your knowledge of history. Have you thought about expanding into this arena? What's really interesting about these writers' blogs (other than tips on how to hone skills) is the ins and outs of getting published. I've learned there's a UK press called Lyrical Press that doesn't require an agent, accepts e-mail submissions and looks for fresh talent. Perhaps you could send them this post. It's that good!!!Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-78727132830644923232010-06-08T08:08:30.474-04:002010-06-08T08:08:30.474-04:00A monumental post!

Gorgeous house, wonderful food and a whole lot of fun, I'll be bound. I have never been to Polesden Lacey so it is now on my list of places to visit. I look forward to Part 2.
