Is this house built in the 19th Century (whoever it designed it, it's quite charming).

osso, take a look at Walter's hint. Yes, mid 19th century. This person was the master of understatement.

(I don't know enough to have the map help me yet, Letty. Although I suppose I could do it with search-for-the-winery way. I've been looking up authors, have looked at about 40 so far..

Hah, I finally looked at the label. Must be Thomas Hardy's house!

Good grief.

But I was probably not around thirty pages before. I appear and disappear...

I do constantly have a sense of deja vu re what photos I've posted or just ones I've thought about posting. I can easily have done some twice.

Or, I might have seen the Hardy house and forgotten... eek.
