My husband and I have just had the opportunity to have a holiday in the UK and Europe and one of the things I really wanted to do, was to visit William Morris' house, Kelmscott, near Lechlade, about an hour from Oxford. It was well worth the visit. It was so interesting to see the rooms that he and his wife and family lived in and imagine them there. The garden was lovely, with a vegetable garden, a meadow and lots of roses. I particularly enjoyed the gift shop as it had so many different William Morris design items to choose from, like linen, trays, notebooks, bags, umbrellas and magnets.
How wonderful to feel that I was walking where he had walked and seeing the same beauty in nature that inspired his lovely designs.
