I’m back in the UK for Christmas and have taken the opportunity to visit a #nationaltrust property with my parents for a Boxing Day outing. The house was the home of Maggie Greville, illegitimate daughter of a Scottish brewer who married into society and hosted parties or ‘gatherings’ in the 1930s that included kings, ambassadors, poets, writers and even maharajahs. #polesdonlacey is a beautiful Edwardian house but the house I liked best was the head gardeners house, which is available to rent. It’s so quaint and overlooks the vegetable garden - my favourite part of any #ntproperty. . . . . . . #surreyhills #backintheuk #maggiegreville #vegetablegarden #headgardenershouse #iwanttolivehere #quaintcottage #visitengland #thisanxiousadventurer #digitalhumanbeans #boxingday #walkingofftheturkey #cakeandcoffee (at Polesden Lacey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Br3b3V3FfOs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kz7sd776sjs5
