Groombridge Place (some might recognize it from “Pride and prejudice” ) in Kent seem to have it all, adorable house, with a moat, a secret garden, a drunken garden and a ghost. I wonder what a house like that would cost…?Groombridge Place, official site

What the hell is a drunken garden? I love this place. I would love to live there.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what a drunken garden is :p But all the shrubs looks all lopsided and odd, maybe that’s why. Arthur Conan Doyle apparently used to go there and he even used the garden in one of his stories, excerpt from “The valley of fear”
ReplyDelete"The three detectives had many matters of detail into which to
inquire; so I returned alone to our modest quarters at the
village inn. But before doing so I took a stroll in the curious
old-world garden which flanked the house. Rows of very ancient
yew trees cut into strange designs girded it round. Inside was a
beautiful stretch of lawn with an old sundial in the middle, the
whole effect so soothing and restful that it was welcome to my
somewhat jangled nerves."
That is so cool. I love stuff like this.
