Obviously fresh bedding and white pyjamas are a great reason for a celebratory hot chocolate and a good book - nothing could go wrong, right? The outrun is amazing so far (so well written) but I’m only halfway through as I keep stopping to read something else (see fig. A which is actually a stormy Norfolk murder mystery curtesy of PD James). PSA - this is too dark to actually read. Don’t ruin your eyes! (As if a childhood of reading under the covers by torchlight has done them any good) It is so much better to sit in the dark, on your phone, editing ridiculously insta-cliché shots and ignoring all the shiny books you’re talking about. #bedtimeisthebesttime #itwasadarkandstormynight #booksimnotcurrentlyreadingbecauseimontheinternet

This weekend’s #ntchallenge is our favourite photos we’ve ever taken and, despite having a digital hectare of photos of beautiful houses and stunning gardens (of which I think Sissinghurst will always be my gold standard), I’m ridiculously fond of this wonky old room at the top of the ruins in @scotneygarden_nt. I want to claim it’s about finding beauty even in the wonky, falling down and forgotten corners but mostly it’s about the reassurance that something in this state has been standing so long so I can relax about my own little hovel. And apparently I can’t resist a window shot. And also there’s sunshine, remember that? #throwingsomeshade #decayisthenewdecor #indoorpicnicspotscouting #andinthedeadsalmoncorner....

A rather enticing route to the pub. Brings to mind all those wonderful Lord of the Rings quotes about stepping out your front door or Pippin’s song that begins ‘Home is behind, the world ahead and there are many paths to tread’’. #walkthisway #whoneedsroadspavedwithgold #Whoeverisadrystonewallermustbeaballer

Last of the @lacocknt spam - the first few times I saw this cauldron I thought it was a Harry Potter prop (from the filming the gift shop keeps reminding you took place here) but it’s actually a genuine stockpot, made in Belgium that somehow ended up being used in Lacock Abbey (I cant remember dates and details but it’s OLD and gigantic) #pantastic #potshots #underneaththearches #feedthe500withenoughleftoverforlunch
