Petworth

To Petworth, in beautiful West Sussex (once the rain cleared - you don't want to hear my feelings about picking up a rental car - which turned out to be a Mercedes!! - in the pouring rain in Guildford, and trying to get out of Guildford without hitting anything - terrifying) - to wander around Petworth (first the town - may we recommend lunch at the Angel?) and then the house and grounds.  Here's a darling little rotunda;

and then the view from inside - through thin blinds, which isn't how Turner saw it, quite, but is veiled, even if not with early morning mist.

Two bits from paintings.

And then - lichen!!
