A year with the National Trust : A La Ronde

This property is about ten minutes from Keith's parents in Exmouth, but we have never been, we knew it was fairly small so we just went for the afternoon which was about right.
It is an amazing 16 sided house, which meant inside there were lots of interesting shaped room and hidden spaces, it would be a great place to live, especially for a child, hide and seek could go on for hours!
Posing for the proper camera!
Sophie wasn't too impressed with the facilities!
But the views were great!
Especially looking over the estuary.
The house was decorated top to bottom with crafts that the two girls who lived there had made, pictures mosaics, collages, on furniture, fireplaces, walls and ceiling. The decorations were made of paper, shells and feathers and though perhaps a little over the top very inspiring! The top gallery of the house is too fragile to visit but you can catch just a glimpse of its shell lined walls.
We headed outside to take part in an Easter egg hunt.....
Sponsored by Cadbury! .... now to claim their prize!
