A castle and a winner




In southern hills, surrounded by woods and fields,
stands a beautiful and grand white house.



It's been called a castle, but I find it more like a manor.
Either way, it's beautiful inside and out.

My loved one deserved to be spoilt,
so I surprised him with a weekend stay in this romantic place.




Once in a while we're allowed to go crazy, aren't we?
It was Valentine's Day after all.

We strolled through the beautiful English style garden or parc and wandered through the woods and fields. Breathing in the fresh air and enjoying some sunshine.




Hence the perfectly good reason why I totally forgot to announce my giveaway winner yesterday. But I'm sure you'll forgive me :)

I'm linking up these photos with Mosaic Monday hosted by Judith of Lavender Cottage.


GIVEAWAY WINNER

The winner of my handmade little notebook, drawn by the random.org random number generator,




is my sweet blog friend Alice from Crealice!!

Congratulations Alice!! I've already sent you an email and hope to hear from you soon :)

Ps: no, I still haven't found time to do some creative work apart from taking photos in the woods and fields. Of which more to come in future posts.

  2. Loved the photos of the Chateau, but like you I would say it's a Manoir.
    Do have any photos to show of the inside or are you keeping those for another time ?
