We were shown around by one of the family members and it was SO much better than when I went back to see what the NT had done with it. I loved the house and it made an impression on me for sure. The collection cabinet that had things piled up inside - including 100 year old swiss chocolate, the musical decanter...<br /><br />The thing that impressed me most though, was that the house was passed down through the female line rather than the male. What a breath of fresh air that was! xxAndi's English Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04136573194920355678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-57580483278834472542011-03-16T23:07:23.580+00:002011-03-16T23:07:23.580+00:00Thank you for such a wonderful tour of the lovely ...Thank you for such a wonderful tour of the lovely places you visited - loved all the beautiful photos and details!

I've always wanted to go to A La Ronde - all that dedication and work and presumably with only candles and gas light!<br />Love the vase, by the way. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-61343112717768529172011-03-16T11:50:09.036+00:002011-03-16T11:50:09.036+00:00Thank you for taking us on your lovely weekend.

I don't really mind, they need food too.<br />I've been collecting Vernon Ward pictures for a few years, my favourite is a seashore one of birds in flight which was £8 from a charity shop, others cost from 50p - £2 at carboot sales, then last week I found a large flower one in a "vintage" shop at £10. I know charity shops are getting dear but £75!!! <br />Looking forward to seeing your treasures............<br />Carol xxCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811673280675153792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-70275029977243283492011-03-16T11:34:18.470+00:002011-03-16T11:34:18.470+00:00Thanks for sharing your photos, I love Devon but h...Thanks for sharing your photos, I love Devon but have yet to visit so far this year and have my fix but you're pictures will put me on for a bit longer :)<br /><br />Bee happy x<br />Have a delicious day!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543516391837137832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-37355378599347895012011-03-16T10:42:50.504+00:002011-03-16T10:42:50.504+00:00What a lovely posting.

Do they allow you to take photos these days or do you have to seek permission - usually in NT properties they are a bit stuffy about that sort of thing - please tell! What a super week-end you had!<br />JuneJunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519222546233157254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-84930794554505499462011-03-16T10:37:57.136+00:002011-03-16T10:37:57.136+00:00Hi Niki

I agree that some charity shops are charging far too much for certain things now...<br />I have not been to A la Ronde, it looks very interesting.<br />Looking forward to the next post as I really like the Totnes area.<br />Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-52398523043151190602011-03-16T10:36:21.171+00:002011-03-16T10:36:21.171+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Isabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11144493045148214185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-30731949217169727982011-03-16T10:33:13.925+00:002011-03-16T10:33:13.925+00:00Wow Niki, what an amazing place A La Ronde is.
