Before moving to Switzerland, we spent many happy years living in Sussex and one of our very favourite spots was Charleston House. This was the home and country meeting place for the writers, painters and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group. The interior was painted by the artists Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, and together with their collection forms a unique and wonderful example of their decorative style. The house is open to visitors and if you are ever in the beautiful Sussex countryside, you should pop in. It's absolutely delightful and the minute you set foot inside, you are transported back in time, very atmospheric.Get a taste for this special place by visiting the website.

Oh this looks like an enjoyable place to visit. It would be sooo interesting and pretty. How fortunate for you to have visited often! Cindy :)
Marginally involved with the Bloombury Group was Dora Carrington, whom I greatly admire! A very fascinating period and artistic movement. I'd love to visit Charleston House on day.
