Spring has finally sprung and being at Ickworth House yesterday in the beautiful sunshine was just amazing. I love history and being around this beautiful architecture feels even more spectacular when the sun's out. I have been to lots of places that are steeped in history and they never fail to impress me, there's something about being able to walk through history and see the way things were way back when (if you were fortunate enough to have been born into enormous wealth that is). It has always amazed me that places like this were, and some still are, actually owned and lived in by one family. I am always open to seeing things and being to places that I've never been before and what better time to do it than Spring?
Whilst I love visiting these places, I don't think I could ever live in something this big, just imagine the cleaning time! Although you could play one hell of a game of hide and seek.
