A conservatory is a glass and metal structure traditionally found in the garden of a large house or public park. Modern conservatories are smaller and are often added to houses for home improvement purposes. The traditional nineteenth century conservatory was a large greenhouse used for growing tender and rare plants, or, less often, for birds and rare animals – sometimes with the plants and animals living together. An orangery is similar to a large greenhouse or conservatory and was used originally to winter citrus trees and house exotic plants. Orangeries were first built within Europe in the 17th century, once glass making technology enabled the possibility to produce large areas of sheet glass. Northern Europeans traditionally used orangeries to cultivate citrus fruits such as oranges, limes and lemons hence the name. (HERE is an excellent article in Southern Accents Magazines) Orangeries were popular amongst the royal and aristocratic residences and were considered a status symbol, as peasants were not able to afford the expensive materials needed to build the Orangery. A grand place, for entertaining, relaxing with friends and family, or for just those delicious moments of private contemplation, an Orangery – with or without the plants and flowers that long ago flourished in these sheltered greenhouses – adds a treasured space to your home. Smaller garden conservatories became popular in the second half of the twentieth century, as places which are part-greenhouses, for conserving plants, and part-recreational, as a solarium or sun room. They are often used as an extra room rather than for horticulture. I think all that's changing. I see a huge shift in peoples' desire to grow house plants and more. In fact, I believe growing vegetables and flowers inside your own home is becoming quite trendy and acceptable. Exquisite.

On one of Sir John Betjamins radio broadcasts he talked about arriving into Padstow and Valerian. The whole of the dunes around Rock and Padstow are awash with them and I wanted to capture these colours. When they sky and sand started taking on the same shades I knew something interesting should result. This is Sir John's End of the End.. "The next five and a half miles beside the broadening Camel to Padstow is the most beautiful train journey I know. See it on a fine evening at high tide with golden light on the low hills, the heron-hunted mud coves flooded over, the sudden thunder as we cross the bridge over Little Petherick creek, the glimpses of slate roofs and a deserted jetty among spindly Cornish elms, the wide and unexpected sight of open sea at the river mouth, the huge spread-out waste of water with brown ploughed fields coming down to little cliffs where no waves break but only salt tides ripple up and ebb away. Then the utter endness of the end of the line at Padstow - 260 miles of it from London. The smell of fish and seaweed, the crying of gulls, the warm, moist West Country air and the valerian growing wild on slate walls" Sir John Betjeman - Trains and Buttered Toast
The Biltmore Estate is an amazing place to visit. Knowing how much I like to take photographs, my friends had warned me that there was no photography allowed inside the house. But, just the day before our visit, the policy had been changed and non-flash photography was now being permitted. I had to convince the guide/guard in the dining room that the policy had been changed. He even went back to the entrance and checked for me, then came back and apologized for questioning me on it. He had not been there the day before and didn't realize the rules had changed. The Biltmore Estate was built for George Vanderbilt in the late 1800s. It has 250 rooms, 89 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, a bowling alley, gym, and indoor swimming pool. The property originally encompassed 25,000 acres, and now covers 8,000 acres. The gardens and surrounding areas are beautiful.
