Name the artists…. All so casual @Montecute House, today! Entry for x2 Students, an OAP and myself ~ an Adult was £13.00 per head. After purchasing the tickets we were told this only covered the grounds and the downstairs (4 rooms and hallway). What a con. Thanks @ntmontecutehouse ~ we felt a bit stung ~ especially the lack of curation and information. I really loved a white scented dog rose in the garden. In the shop they tried to help with the variety, but did not know it ~ sadly not available in the shop, so went to @eastlambrookmanor, where there’s a @margeryfishgarden. She was very helpful, but didn’t feel they had the right rose! So I fell in love with @peonyflame instead, and so that became my very special gift from my Dad 💕 The hunt for this rose…..continues! #montecutehouse #nationaltrust #nationaltrustsouthwest #nationaltrustgardens #peonyflame #eastlambrookmanorgardens #eastlambrookmanor #paeoniaflame #gainsborough #reynolds

Focus on… Angry Stitch Sampler, part of my exhibition “Picking Up the Threads” at @courtyard_herts. I made this piece in response to a 1785 sampler in the Goodhart Sampler Collection at Montecute House (see second picture - image reproduced with kind permission from @montacute_nt). The original text reads: “My dearest Aunt. You have made me the happiest little Girl in the World in desiring me to work a letter for you to keep for my sake as I am certain you will think of me whenever you read it. I shall be very happy when I learn to write as I think I can form my letters sooner with a pen, than with a Needle from your dutiful little Niece Elizabeth Sampson” Picking Up the Threads is on until 20th April - please pop in if you’re in the Hertford area! #crossstitch #sampler #goodhartsamplers #montecutehouse #handembroidery #nationaltrust

A little late afternoon jolly to Montecute house today. If you go take a stroll round the Orangery no oranges but some lovely tree ferns and scented pelargoniums #nationaltrustsouthwest #montecutehouse
Whenever we visit a historic site, I try to capture the emotions and stances of my family and sometimes strangers.

On the way back home from our #longleat holiday, we stopped by at #tintinhullgardens and #montecutehouse. Stunning gardens and walkways. Weather was holding for us. After visiting #stourhead house, Montacute was a little disappointing inside as you could only view the rooms on the ground floor, and there wasn't much in there. #familytime #getoutside #englishcountryside
We said “okay go!” And she took off! Nice afternoon walk through #montecutehouse gardens. Will literally follow this girl to the end of the world. Ilysm my little troublemaker! 💕

Following on from yesterday’s post here is some more work that I did for the Acute Mental Health Unit in Somerset. The two large plywood panels were the first pieces installed in the refurbished Unit. The unit was being extended to bring together two units one formerly in Glastonbury and this one in Yeovil. This means that patients from the Glastonbury catchment area will now have to come to Yeovil and that some staff will now have a longer commute… not ideal - but the least I could do was acknowledge the history by depicting Glastonbury Tor in one panel and Montecute House,Yeovil in the other. I chose to print on plywood as a lot of the hospital environment is very sterile, favouring wipe down plastic ( the ply is coated) Photo credit Corbin O’Grady studio and Art for Life #hospitalwayfinding #biophiliccolour #mentalhealthawareness #doors #hospitalarts #mentalhealth #glastonbury #montecutehouse

A visit to Montecute House yesterday. Love their sampler collection, especially all the mermaids! 🧜♀️ #antiquesampler #montecutehouse #17thcenturyembroidery
Bathrooms also come in boxes… beats a normal ensuite any day. This is in Montecute House in Dorset (also @nationaltrust ). But @hiltonmarlton has a shower-in-a-box that I think is even better (sadly, didn’t take a photo - may post later if I get a chance!). #montecutehouse #tinybathrooms #designinspiration #historichouses

If your looking for a family fun day out this Easter then head to Montecute House. Which is exactly what Mabel did when my brother, sister in law , niece and nephew visited last week. They even sent me the photos to show how much of a good time she was having 😂😂 #yeabridgefarmhideaway #montecutehouse #montecute #familytime #funtimes #familydayout
Last year I saw this sampler (top) - part of the Goodhart Sampler Collection at Montecute House @nationaltrust . It really tickled me; I tried to imagine the reaction of my kids if their aunt asked them to stitch her a letter. So my modern interpretation was born… I like to think of it less as “cross stitch” and more “really angry stitch” 😂 If you are interested in samplers, check out the Girl’s Education in Stitch exhibition at @royalneedlework 1. Old and new side by side 2. The original 3. My interpretation 4. Work in progress 5.

I recently noticed a post on @james_todman about a superbly funky hedge, and recognized it as the hedge by the greenhouse at #montecutehouse in England. I visited Montecute years ago and was knocked out by both the magnificent house and the gardens including that #hedge. As a weaver, I choose subjects that are rectilinear enough to respond to the directionals of #warpandweft , the lumpy hedge was a real challenge. This piece flattens it out, but there is a minor attempt when doing the detail of the greenhouse. And finally, the grand house itself. #gardensandarchitecture #historicgardens #englishgardens #englishgardenstyle
“There was joy in (her) heart…it was the same sort of awareness that came to her sometimes on a winter’s night in the middle of a storm. She would go to her window, draw back the curtains and see that the driving clouds had parted as though a hand had drawn them aside like a curtain, and in a pool of tranquil sky she would see a few stars gleaming. The storm was not over, it would rage on until it had blown itself out, but the depth of mercy beyond had shown itself” The White Witch, Elizabeth Goodge 1958 Second Advent blog post with some Bible verses to ponder, some pictures capturing moments of beauty and joy in the midst of the mundane and an inspiring Goudge quote. The above photo is of the dining hall in Montecute House, an Elizabethan manor, all dressed for a Christmas mystery! https://motheringthroughtheseasons.com/2022/12/04/advent-2-december-2022/ #homeed #homeeducation #homeeducationuk #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschoolmum #adoptivefamily #homeschoolfamily #advent #faith #joy #montecutehouse #elizabethgoudge @elizabethgoudgebookclub

Another National Trust just 10 minutes down the road from us in the small village of Montecute in Somerset 🍂 My favorite days spent in England over the last 6 months were those spent exploring great houses and parks thanks to @nationaltrust so if you’re ever in the UK for a decent amount of time, I highly recommend, there’s so many to visit across the country and is a great way to appreciate the preserved history and architecture 🏰 #visitnationaltrust #montecutehouse

Another lovely sunny day in #somerset Firstly we visited #lytescarymanor The newer, still over 100 years old, wing on the left can’t be viewed but can be rented. View looking out from the entrance at the 12 apostles. It was quite a dewy morning and I spent quite a while trying to capture it on this red #salvia There’s a lovely #orchard and some of the smaller trees had #mistletoe that grew only 5 or so feet off the ground. Perfect for taking pictures! I love this soft pink and purple salvia and also this weirdly pretty #ClerodendrumTrichotomum . We also made a return visit to #montecutehouse The gap in the hedge leads to the ice house which we somehow missed last time. We also walked around the local countryside via the purple route. The swing is found on the white route, children’s natural play area. Yes, we both checked that the swing worked 😀😀 We wandered around the village of #montecute and came across this pretty #virginiacreeper near the Priory Pond. . There’s a small plant nursery just down the road, a few more bulbs bought 🙄 and they had some colourful trees too. . . . @nationaltrust @nationaltrustsouthwest #greensleevesnursery #autumncolors #somerset

When the two redheads went to montecute house near Yeovil Did you know they have a tapestry there from the 16th century it’s beautiful I learnt what ‘sleep tight’ meant and spotted Henry V111 Dress by @voodoovixenldn Coat @barbour Sunglasses @bettyliciousuk
