A smattering of blue sky enticed us outdoors again, this time to Chartwell, the family home of Sir Winston Churchill.Photography was not allowed inside the house or the studio, but this only allowed one to absorb just how enchanting everything was. The history of his life is really a window into the history of the world during that time, and amongst the many treasures inside were gifts from foreign leaders such as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin. One of the guides in the uniform room was a 90 year old veteran who was truly fascinating  to talk to.With no photography allowed indoors, I had to get creative outdoors, but in all honesty we were just enjoying the grounds and ponds so much that I was probably a little lazy.Hope you enjoy the small selection of photos below and make your own visit to this grand house.
