Lamb House is an 18th-century house situated in Rye, East Sussex, England, and in the ownership of the National Trust. The house has literary connections. Henry James moved into Lamb House in 1897 when he was 55 years old, lived there until 1916, and wrote his three late novels there: The Wings of the Dove (1902), The Ambassadors (1903), and the Golden Bowl (1904). The house was later occupied by E.F. Benson and Rumer Godden. Benson writes lovingly of both garden and house, renamed "Mallards", in his "Mapp and Lucia" novels. The publisher Sir Brian Batsford, the literary agent Graham Watson and the writers John Senior and Sarah Philo have also held the tenancy in recent times. Some of James's personal possessions can be seen in the house, which is administered and maintained on the Trust's behalf by its current tenant (unfortunately, pictures of the interior, furnishings and contents were not allowed). Lamb House is the subject of Joan Aiken's novel The Haunting of Lamb House which is comprised of three novellas about residents of the house at different times, including James himself. The house was built in 1722 by James Lamb, a wine merchant and Mayor of Rye. In 1726, a storm drove the ship of King George I on to Camber Sands and Lamb offered his own bed to the King, even though Lamb’s own pregnant wife gave birth that night while a heavy snow kept the King stranded in Rye. The King served as godfather to the baby, named George, of course, and gave a christening present of a sliver bowl and 100 guineas. The house was then owned by other Lamb descendants until 1864. After Henry James took out a 21 year lease in 1897, he extensively redecorated it, filled it with his books, Whistler etchings, Burne Jones paintings, and portraits of writers he liked like Flaubert. Distinguished figures such as Edith Wharton, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad, Stephen Crane, Rudyard Kipling, and others too numerous to mention were frequent guests.

We visited Rye in early July, 2008, and immediately added it to our list of favorite English small towns along with Ludlow in Shropshire, Bakewell in Derbyshire, Richmond in Yorkshire, and Moreton in Marsh in the Cotswolds. We were only there for the afternoon, but we managed to walk the cobblestone streets, tour Henry James' Lamb House (National Trust ), climb the church tower for the views, and take a three mile loop walk out to Camber Castle and back . If you click on the Set to the right and run the Slideshow in Full Screen Mode, you can follow us up Mermaid Street, past Ypres Castle, through the Old City Gate, past the shops on High Street, around the Church Square, into St. Marys Church, and then up to the top of the church tower (not for the faint hearted) for views of the town, Camber Castle, the River Rother, and Romney Marsh. Here are separate sets for the garden at Lamb House and for our three mile walk out to Camber Castle through the waterfowl preserves: www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/sets/72157606698860608/ www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/sets/72157606702925983/ Rye in medieval times was one of the Cinque Port towns, and was located on a bay which has since silted up. With the coming of bigger ships and larger ports, Rye's economy began to decline and fishing and smuggling became more important. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rye,_East_Sussex

The Toronto Project: Hi Flickr, I have been busy finishing my degree, and now I'm done!! I have finally completed my bachelor's in biology and chemistry. I just returned from a trip to Toronto. I have taken a fascination with the city in many ways and I had a list of things to do and experience there. In my three full days of staying there and shooting I experienced a lot and took 4927 photos, I walked dozons of kilometers, and visited many interesting areas. Some of the highlights include; the PATH system, Hockey Hall of Fame, Union Station, all of the major financial building complexes, CN Tower, Old City Hall, Osgoode Hall, Art Gallery of Ontario, Kensington Market, Chinatown, Sunnybrook Park, Cabbagetown, Necropolis, Euclid Hall, Gooderham Houses, Queen's Park Legislative Buildings, All of the old colleges of the University of Toronto, Royal Conservatory of Music, Annex style houses, Yorkville Houses and firehall, Casa Loma, Spadina Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, Allen Gardens, Mackenzie House, St Michael's Church, Metropolitan United Church, Flatiron Building, St Lawrence Market, Toronto's first post office, St. Lawrence Hall, Sculpture Garden, St. James Church, Gooderham and Worts Distillary, Cherry Street Hotel, and Little Trinity Church and the surrounding neighborhood of Corktown. This is just an image of a large series that I'm doing. The primary goal of this project is to document the diverse types of architecture that one can find in Toronto. Much of it has a British influence or American such as Richardsonian Romanesque when it comes to older buildings. But since Toronto is also a modern alpha global city and a global financial city it has a diverse and impressive amount of modern skyscrapers and post modern architecture. Its diversity is also shown in its people in that atleast 50% of the people living in Toronto weren't even born in Canada, making Toronto the world's most ethnically diverse city. It is extremely colourful and every corner has a new surprise. One can pass down the same street multiple times and stil find surprises like little shops you didn't even notice. I can't wait to return, but I need work in order to get down there again.

Using a considered palette and lots of texture, homeowner and designer Danielle created a practical and beautiful family holiday home, that came in right on budget.

Mike and Lauren are a beautiful couple inside and out, and having the opportunity to work with them at the Wainwright House was an absolute joy!  We had the most perfect golden light that evening that peeked through the trees, adding a beautiful glow to their already romantic photos.

A while ago I made my first succesfull 100% rye bread (click to open the post). Since then I kept on baking, different sorts of bread, but never 100% rye again. Afraid of failure? NO. But I'm easily distracted and the list of must-try breads is getting longer and longer everyday and there are too many new formulas that I want to try, so I rarely decide to repeat a recipe. Or at least not very soon after I made it.It was not the case with today's subject.
