Belvedere Hall

Oh, my! I haven't spent this much time cleaning a home in years! This old 1788 barn conversion is so dusty! I am forever sweeping cobwebs, vacuuming new carpet, cleaning 4 bathrooms! When will you all come and use them so I feel like me work isn't in vain?



We have had several friends over for games already and some of the comments are these: Well, I guess we don't need to go see Ripon Castle anymore! My whole house fits into your living room and kitchen! You should charge admission for the tours! You could sublet the back rooms and no one would even hear each other.



Anyway, it is a beautiful, rustic home and we are settling in and enjoying it, too! Both Bert and I know we don't want this size home when we come back and get our own! It is way too big to ramble around in with just the two of us! But, the kingsize bed fit through the door and so did the big brown couch and bigscreen TV. Those are the important things, right?



Here's some pictures!
