I went to a boarding school that had once been a mid-Victorian mansion, and it still had its lovely ornate cast iron radiators and a huge furnace in the basement. <br /><br />We froze from September to Christmas, thawed out in the holidays at home, and returned to school to re-freeze till Easter. For the rest of the year, we were merely chilled to the bone.....rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506149731913717166.post-577925843588190662012-01-10T16:57:31.634-06:002012-01-10T16:57:31.634-06:00How the other half lives....
How fun to see this!...How the other half lives....<br /><br />How fun to see this! I had wondered if that portrait were Charles I - nice to have the suspicion confirmed.<br /><br />How do they keep that living room WARM? The ceilings are dreadfully high...<br /><br />Thanks for posting, Ginnie. I see that DA2 is up on pbs.org already so we'll be watching tonight. Can't wait to see the clothes (it's my favourite fashion era).Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5506149731913717166.post-19703280449206570952012-01-10T11:04:46.995-06:002012-01-10T11:04:46.995-06:00No, I missed that!
