Wandering #1 ...
London - Day 3
Our first stop of the day was Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham. It's the first manor built completely in the Gothic style of architecture and is the inspiration for the fairy guardian's house in our four-book Victorian time travel series.
Check out the intricate wrought iron stairs.

| The owner owned tons of stained glass and used it all over the house. |
There were different styles of fireplaces all over the house, and check out that library.
It was really fun to imagine our characters in a house like this.

Our next stop was the Tower of London.

| Their armory is huge! |
Yard & Fencing
We've been working on the outside of the house. Before I left for the UK, they got the front sprinkler system in and the sod laid.
Friends and neighbors are helping with the fencing.
What have you been up to? Got any summer plans?
