Happy Days

Also gone is the sugar beet factory at Felsted, where they planted roses all along the fence on the road to Little Dunmow.

I visited yesterday and the exhibition is marvellous - showing just how much preparation Munnings did for this project - hours spent sketching (Lady Munnings modelled for Queen Mary) site visiting and mulling things over.
Bravo for managing to borrow the huge oil from The Tate.

There were so many shelves with a variety of fashion accessories in this museum. My eye was quickly drawn to what looks like to me the iconic early #19thc pineapple reticule! (cc: @julieinstitches.bsky.social @nemgarrett.bsky.social) #RegencyFashion #dresshistory

On #InternationalCatDay my favourite cat-themed artwork is Philip Wilson Steer's utterly delightful 'Hydrangeas' featuring a woman playing with a black cat with a white bib, from #TheFitzwilliamMuseum, Cambridge.

A beautiful piece of silver work.

Yes! With the parish church tower peeping out behind. I cannot remember whether the tower was embellished by Adam or Keene but the astonishing Gothick Shelburne family pew is now in the school hall at Wycombe Abbey.

And opposite is Robert Adam’s delightful Little Market Hall of 1761, usefully engraved ‘London 29 miles’ and ‘Oxford 23 miles’ on the string-course.

Intriguingly, he was also the grandfather of Kitty O’Shea (née Katharine Wood), 13th child of Sir John Page Wood of Rivenhall Place, Essex.
