About
The National Trust looks after places of historic interest and natural beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
This blog is about celebrating the beauty of the National Trust’s places and collections, and about uncovering the stories behind the objects in our collections, and about how those objects relate to each other, and to us.
My role within the National Trust is to co-ordinate the acquisition of works of art and other objects with connections to the historic houses and gardens of the National Trust.

Emile,
This is a wonderful idea, and a delight to read. I shall enjoy checking in with it regularly.
Does the blog have an RSS feed? Would be helpful.
And I’m tweeting about you in the hopes of sending some traffic your way.
All the best,
Kate

Thanks for your support Kate. I have just added what I think is an RSS feed facility, and a subscription facility – still new to this!

Brilliant idea! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Sammy & Glenn – I hope you don’t mind the epithet ‘post-industrial wabi’

Very excited to find this new blog. Just seems to fit my interests to a T. Thank you for letting us inside…

Thanks Barbara – yes you even seem to have the same ratio of images to text as my blog
although you have many more attractive pictures. I like the architectural elements in Alexandria, Virginia – God is in the detail, isn’t he?

Just found this blog quite by accident, and wow, it’s wonderful! So much to study and inspire. I’ve added “Treasure Hunt” to my own blog-roll, and hope it helps you pick up more American readers from the other side of the pond. Thank you for sharing so many beautiful images…

Your blog is a total treat and as I travel around visiting houses (about which I’ve started to blog too once the number hit 100 and my memories started to get muddled – http://visitinghousesandgardens.wordpress.com) I constantly come back to you for lots of insight. Really wonderful. Can’t thank you enough for the blog.

Thank you – I like your blog too – lots of useful information about actually visiting places and your impressions of them.

Hello Emile. I was wondering if you might cover something from Wandsworth Road? Their own blog has been silent for months. Thank you very much.
February 5, 2013 at 10:06 |
Thanks for your interest. I will enquire with them if I might feature some images and news about how their project is progressing.

The colleagues at 575 Wandsworth Road have just told me that they will be sending me something to feature very soon, so please watch this space!

Any update?

Sorry, not yet – I will remind them.

I saw it in this year’s guidebook, but had not realised that it only opened for public tours a couple of weeks ago! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activityandadventure/9909314/National-Trust-homes-Londons-small-historic-houses.html
Lots of images here – http://interiorarchive.photoshelter.com/gallery/Khadambi-Asalache-London/G0000CjJZT97zjtw/C0000vHAnQY37oUY – and here -http://patrickbaty.co.uk/2011/07/19/575_wandsworth_road/
