Inspiration - visiting Strawberry Hill House

Another day off, another gothic building! It was a bank holiday here in England on Monday and we thought we would take the opportunity of an extra day off to visit Strawberry Hill House in West London. It’s been on our list for a while! It was created and built for Horace Walpole in the 18th century and is full of all the gorgeous design features I love in a gothic building. As always, I was taking photos of the tiny details (very inspiring for jewellery) while Gary was taking the bigger scale photos. What a team! Photos by Gary Ullah

A visit to Exeter cathedral

Exeter cathedral, photo by Gary Ullah Gary and I had a week off last week and, as usual with our time off, we spent some time visiting a gothic cathedral! This time it was Exeter cathedral . We enjoyed a guided tour which I always like to do when I can as there's always something that you miss if you don't know to look.  I loved the colour in this cathedral. All buildings from this time would have been very brightly painted but much of this has worn away so it was lovely to see that colour in Exeter.

A visit to a gothic cathedral

I find gothic architecture very inspiring so it was fantastic to have the opportunity to visit Wells Cathedral in Somerset with my family this week. It's also very useful to go with a photographer! These are some of Gary's photos from the day. You can find more of his architectural photos here
