The details make all the difference ☺️
I went to a talk on #Vanbrugh at @StoweHouse yesterday. I noticed this hand-painted depiction of a Ringnecked Parakeet on the wall. It dates to the 1780s, 170 years before the making of the African Queen. @stellacreasy #parrot #parakeet #birds @BTO_GBW @GeorgianGroup #Vanbrugh300
ALT Ring-necked parakeet perched facing forwards on a swing above a garland, looking to right, long tail trailing down, wall painting circa 1780, Stowe.
ALT View from Stowe House through pillars to distant temple. Extensive lawn runs down to ha-ha, then lake, then further meadows. Trees on either side into the distance. September sky.
Half term is creeping up like the ghost of summer holidays past… 👻
