The cottage homes of England
By thousands on her plains,
They are smiling o'er the silvery brooks,
And round the hamlet-fanes.
Thro' glowing orchards forth they peep,
Each from its nook of leaves,
And fearless there the lowly sleep,
As the bird beneath the eaves
~ Felicia Hermans 1793 -1835

I would love to see the cottage homes in England. One of my favorite movies is "The Holiday". I loved the cottage home Amanda stayed in. Of course I fell in love with Jude Law. :)
Lovely home! :-)
Very pretty & a low maintenance garden to boot!
That's a beautiful house.
I agree that it’s a lovely looking home and suspect the interior is much the same. The poem was a good accompaniement as well.
I would so love a trip to England. will have to do it through books or the internet. Beautiful cottage.
I really wonder if those houses originally had straw and mud in their cavity and as time went by the bricks replaced it. I like the look but I had to be difficult to fill in the squares.
Not another house in the world looks so homey to me as an English cottage!
