I think you've had even more snow than we have and I just hope we don't get any more. <br /><br />Your super fireplace photos remind me of the big Edwardian vicarage we lived in for 3 years. It had three floors and all the eight rooms on the first two floors had fireplaces except for the kitchen which had had a range at some point. All but one of the chimneys had been blocked off so the fireplaces were for show only and looked very like yours. The attic bedrooms where the maids would have slept didn't have fireplaces. Brr!<br /><br />I just love the leg o'mutton sleeves in the wedding photo. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-16065401711148559222013-03-25T16:50:48.077-07:002013-03-25T16:50:48.077-07:00It doesn't look a very happy wedding!
