what a lovely place and such history!
what use is that diamond to anyone else - it can't be sold or anything - maybe it will turn up some day like other stolen stuff has recently.
The setting reminds me of a NT house LOML and I went to on the south coast somewhere near Kingswear - can't recall the name - it was a famous Arts and Crafts movement house and was sited at the top of a canyon leading to the beach. The canyon had been beautifully converted into a wild garden and was just perfect.
I am annoyed I can't recall the name or where it was - I do remember we got caught up in a herd of cows being taken in for milking when we left!
Were the other pics illicit or provided by the inhabitants?
Belle: Sylvana said the raiders told her sister they had buyers for everything they took and they would be out of the country at once - as if they had been ordered. Arts and Crafts sounds like the Bloomsbury lot's place in Sussex which I really enjoyed. The Bells etc - my memory 's asleep too.
Wow, I can't imagine living in such a museum! I mean ...they must have really good security now. If I lived there, I'd have pack of snarling dogs around me at all times!
Kanani: oddly - surrounded by billowing hills it feels very safe. I think the marauders might have had helicopters. With mobile phones they couldn't make a quick getaway on those narrow twisty roads.
Grand mother but still a girl at heart. Married to MTL(my true love)after a separation of 30 years. Had three careers: trained paediatric nurse, National photographic model and business woman. Now settled in SW and enjoying our five children and ten grandchildren and making the most of what time we have left.
In January 2013 I lost MTL.

Belle: the other pics I took from a publication I bought at the house.

Pat - i went and looked up the house I was thinking of - knew it was in Devon.
