I was in England for 6 days earlier this month for a diamond business retreat. We stayed at a lovely English manor complete with gorgeous gardens, fountains, Dr. Seuss looking flower sculptures and hula-hopping hedge bunnies…

This manor had a style and flair all its own, and it was really fantastic. Everywhere I looked there was something a bit unexpected, which made my stay really fun and interesting every day. Thank goodness for the odd and quirky in this world. Everything would seem so “vanilla” without them!
