By marriage this became part of the present holding and was almost certainly the reason the previous owners family became established here in the eighteenth century. Many of the stone walls built then still stand today as field boundaries so you are right things are much the same as they always were and hopefully will be for many years to come.GMSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-72748874447395212422010-07-30T08:37:22.798+01:002010-07-30T08:37:22.798+01:00Look at that green grass - I'd forgotten how w...Look at that green grass - I'd forgotten how wonderful it looks (it's a sea of brown patchy stubble round here).Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723377593068712400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-78588483952305876142010-07-30T08:20:32.488+01:002010-07-30T08:20:32.488+01:00So beautiful to look at!So beautiful to look at!Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106203770822701470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-29964683324521402082010-07-30T08:02:23.770+01:002010-07-30T08:02:23.770+01:00I just want to spread out a picnic rug and sit wit...I just want to spread out a picnic rug and sit with you and talk the day away in that top field.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578720378832806483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831075779288351551.post-6303235997912741102010-07-30T04:53:11.165+01:002010-07-30T04:53:11.165+01:00It is a wonder, is it not?...and a comfort and a b...It is a wonder, is it not?...and a comfort and a blessing.<br />Thank you, ellen k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
