Cherie's Place – Thought for the Week

The timeless in you is aware of life’s timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today’s memory and tomorrow is today’s dream.

52 Photos Project – Gallery 43 – Love
Shugborough Estate
Now that I have finished sharing my Paris travels and photos I decided to look back at some of the days out that I had during 2012. I realised that there were quite a few places that I haven’t posted about properly yet.
So now I will take you back to a sunny day in July when I took advantage of one of 2012s rare moments of sunshine. The venue is the Shugborough Estate in Staffordshire.
The Mansion that we see today was developed from a three-storied house that was built in 1693 after the demolition of the original manor house. The transformation of the three story house into a Georgian Mansion took place between 1745 and 1748 by the architect Thomas Wright, who added the pavilions either side of the 17th century block.
In between the house and the River Sow, stand the formal terraces with borders of lavender and ‘Bright Smile’ roses.

Love is an element which though physically unseen is as real as air or water. It is an acting, living, moving force…
…It moves in waves and currents like those of the ocean.
Prentice Mulford (1834 – 1891)

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
