Shame on me! :( But a very heartfelt Happy Belated 64 Birthday Jackie darling!<br /><br />Oh it was so interesting to read about your houses. Imagine living in a house that survived the Great Fire of London, was there a ghost?<br /><br />And your present home looks lovely, I love those pastel-hues of Scandinavia and fabulous fire-places. And for it to be called 'The Laurels', it sounds like a house from Anne of Green Gables a book I still love! The house must attract theatricals and artistic people to it I think, because YOU live there, and your son did as well and he's major talented.<br /><br />Our house is full of 'tat' as my own son puts it. Never the less he goes about mentally putting blue dots on things marking as his for when we're pushing up the daisies! ;):) The house is in dire need of re-decoration which is difficult when you have M.E. so I've filled it up with all sorts of things to feast my eyes upon so I disguise the faults. And when the sun shines I have to wear blinkers so as not notice the tumbleweeds of dust.<br /><br />Much love dear Jackie, stay warm,<br />Huggings,<br />Jane xHalf-heard in the Stillnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840301617199033576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566466519387927581.post-62539326004364398542015-02-18T05:40:43.148+00:002015-02-18T05:40:43.148+00:00Another wonderful description......"there is ...Another wonderful description......"there is so much of you in it"!!<br /><br />Beautiful.

And the fireplaces still there: such a luck! (We bought our Art Noveau house in Hildesheim, it was built in 1902 - and most things are still there, but they smashed the beautiful fireplaces to install central heating - nothing against that, but they could have kept the fireplaces, which were in the inner parts of the rooms...) Now our house - and the whole street, singled out to have outlived the hell of war fire, is under monumental protection (not easy either...). As to furbishing rooms: I don't follow any trends - I love "lots of free room", but then in the tinier things there is a lot to look at - though everything is in use, we are both no collectors.Brittahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688373434576442657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3566466519387927581.post-80907712571492585472015-02-16T13:08:38.408+00:002015-02-16T13:08:38.408+00:00I do enjoy our home …..

We have been to San Francisco and visited Alamo Square and walked for miles and saw some beautiful houses. <br />We can find out a great deal about the houses we live in by the deeds or looking it up in the Census which have been taken every 10 years since 1801. I love knowing who built my house and who lived here.<br />Hope that you will visit again.

The oldest home I lived in was the 1905 brownstone in San Francisco in Presidio Heights, which was before the great fire of 1906. I still miss that beautiful place! My current home was built just as WWII was wrapping up and I truly wish I knew the history of those who have called it home. I have taken so many photos as we upgrade and renovate not only the house but the landscaping and I hope that someday I can pass it along to the new owner, so they will have a better understanding of what transpired here.<br /><br />Your style is beautiful…filled with special memories!<br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.com
