And I always love to see the food that you've enjoyed on your travels. It's mouth watering haha. The fried shrimp and fries sound Yummy. What a charming place Beatrix Potter's home was. She had many beautiful treasures in her home - that cast iron frog is delightful. The blue dishes caught my eye right away, so lovely. It was nice to see all the oak furniture. I've always thought it was sturdy, and my mother's desk that I posted is solid oak. I noticed the little desk area in this home, and all the red and yellow flowers outside makes it even more charming. I enjoyed sharing this wonderful experience of yours, Martha Ellen, thank you.<br /><br />~Sheri<br /><br />ps....Happy Martin Luther King Day.Red Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-1365814046351498002019-01-21T12:14:49.077-05:002019-01-21T12:14:49.077-05:00Cheryl it was a real treat to return to Hill Top a...Cheryl it was a real treat to return to Hill Top and take photos of the interior, although they don't do justice to the furnishings at all.
