I confess to not having cared much ...Hi, Rachel ... I confess to not having cared much for history as it was taught to me during my school years. Family recollections of 'the old days' went in one ear and out the other. Only as I've grown older has my curiosity piqued, and I've recently become enchanted with Ancestry.com and other such genealogical sites. When I 'find' a heretofore unknown relative, my mind is transported back in time and I want to know more about where and how they lived. I'm especially excited when I discover some came from England! Thank you for every photo and detail you share of your homeland, as they provide me with additional food for thought.<br /><br />Sharon in Alabaman/ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369954553919919919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-64210137939291698122015-09-01T21:57:31.160+01:002015-09-01T21:57:31.160+01:00Oh, Rachel, I just love that house in Spitalfields...Oh, Rachel, I just love that house in Spitalfields! <3Erin | Bygone Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599917760328625577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-51477681942402162922015-09-01T19:51:28.928+01:002015-09-01T19:51:28.928+01:00What interesting history and beautiful locations. ...What interesting history and beautiful locations. History of our ancestors leaves so many questions, sigh. Living in California we don't have many old buildings and I find old architecture so much more interesting. The internet is so amazing, just this morning I had an order from someone living in a place with my maiden name in England. Naturally I had to look at Google maps and saw the old farm house and wondered if my ancestors may have at one time lived there.Donna Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13614289008916452964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-11920798598227047532015-09-01T12:27:47.260+01:002015-09-01T12:27:47.260+01:00This was such a lovely and enjoyable post, Rachel....This was such a lovely and enjoyable post, Rachel. How wonderful that you were able to stay in that gorgeous old home! Your photos of the places you saw and the things you experienced have really helped me "be there" all the way from Texas! I love history, and I love all things British, so I will be rereading this post often. Thanks for the time and effort you put into sharing this with your readers. And I think my favorite pic is the one of Alice. She looks quite beautiful and happy. :-)Jennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552811423957687020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-70972417647508587712015-09-01T07:31:42.106+01:002015-09-01T07:31:42.106+01:00It is so exciting to visit historic places, It is so exciting to visit historic places, Rose Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180873324576064516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-36574676785803523482015-08-31T22:49:51.785+01:002015-08-31T22:49:51.785+01:00Gorgeous pictures!

How lyrically you describe it all, Rachel. I can hear the love of place you have for this very wonderful part of the world. I am always impressed with what dignity and charm these places are handled. I love it, too. Going back, so much of it is in my DNA, too. Thank you for connecting me to it!
