It's Sunday morning and God knows we need some property p*rn. So get in losers, we’re cruising into a 70s hall of mirrors in Beverly Hills, a novelist's boho Norfolk and a demented Windsor palace.
More importantly, Raffaella was daughter of Elspeth Barker, author of O Caledonia, which we just read for book group and which was our top scoring book of all time, hard recommend!
That Windsor house bedroom looks a lot like one at Le Manoir, wonder if there’s a link with the designer? (Only know this as did a kitchen then FOH stage and a perk was a tour of the rooms)
Good lord, that Windsor apartment. I imagine that's what happens when someone in the Chain of Design ingests a lot of the special mushrooms and then goes on a trip to Legoland and other local attractions.
I am very pro picturesque ruins in gardens though. Something about it is like a dopamine rush for my soul, especially if they also have peacocks. (The botanical garden in Lisbon was perfect for all these reasons and also pastries. I could cope much easier with suits of armoire scrutinising my every move if there were plates of Pastel De Nata about).
There is a backstory to the house near Windsor.

Much appreciation here. This is my favourite round-up ever so far.

Fabulous round up. That Windsor place 😵💫.
Can we come on the writing retreat if we don’t actually want to do any writing but just hang out & have a laugh?
