I like Christmas, but I have not great Christmas memories. If a think of Easter instead, I remember my family, the big eggs hunt and the house where I've grown up, the manor...
It was a huge (believe me, it was really huge) ancient (1700) building my family bought at the in 1910.
As a child I was like a princess in her castle
and if in Winter the house with those sky high cielings was cold, in Spring everything turned out wonderful. The daffodils in the gardens, the roses, the light in the rooms, the warm afternoons, the parties, people I loved...
I don't know, I'm not sure anymore, if I was or not an happy child and girl, but what I know is that I'll never forget the days I spent there.
I lived in the "castle" until 5 years ago, when my family sadly decided to sell it.
I have all the memories though...
The photos below were taken the day I moved...
"Good bye dear house, (...) the Spring will come and then you'll exist no more"...
Happy Easter to all :-)

@ rose: yes, it's me ;-) And definitely, I would again that dress and those tights: they had little hearts on them and they were my favorite...I remember how much I cried when theywere ruined after a fall!
Oh, and thank you, hope you'll come back sometimes :-)
Those pictures of you as a little girl are lovely!
Must have been great to grow up in a place like that...
You're very lucky to have lived in a castle--every girl's dream (have you read "I Capture The Castle"?), but it must have been very sad too to see it go. You looked very darling as a child...a little doll!

@ helvetica: thank you! It was not a "classic" castle, but it was for me, MY castle. It was a palace, an historical building with over 40 rooms, gardens, cellars, even a little chapel, etc.
