Day 360: Today Tulip and I are exploring a gorgeous OS gem known as "Moreland Place". I highly recommend a Google to get the full history of the home, grounds and the man who runs it all, Barry More, but in short, this property is the dream of a single person who wanted to make something really fantastic. The home you see just behind us was, believe it or not, constructed in the last fifty years or so. It looks 300 years old, and is built to give off that impression. It isn't open for general tours as it is a private residence, but Mr More always makes it available for our annual "Doors Open" event in early June and as such I've seen the inside. Inside the home is even more beautiful than the exterior. The grounds, however, *are* open to the public seven days a week. And may I just say...they are WORTH seeing. In the wild style of English gardens, there are spectacles to be seen around every turn. He makes all his own stonework, and does his own grounds keeping, and there is even a maze. I'll post some more photos in a moment. Right now, however, I'm just reflecting on the beauty of the day, the gorgeous serene gardens, and how lucky I am to live here and get to share this with such a good Friend. Pretty Happy today, Friends. #goodtimesgoodtimes #luckyhotdog #Moreland #365happydays
