I live in North Carolina and have been to the Biltmore Estate many times. It is amazing and beautiful and one of my favorite places to visit. It is in the beautiful mountains of NC and Mummy would love it since it has the most beautiful gardens. They have evening candlelight tours around the Christmas holidays which is so lovely. If you happen to visit you must go to The Grove Park Inn which is near there in Asheville and either stay there or have a drink in their lobby by the huge fireplaces and enjoy beautiful views of the mountains. 😊😊😊

[@teresacarle294]

📷 Brilliant idea. Perfect for museum quality merch.: postcard, notecard, or even a magnet. ❤Romantic toile lovers the world over would rejoice @ being able to sneak a sample of this historic beauty home🏡. 🍵 How about a signature Chateau tea blend in a tin? Maybe a mixture that contains flowers & such from their own region. Something that they can serve @ Lalande too. (They could even sell tea strainers & petite tea bag plates.) ♻️Find a printer &/or tea leaf supplier that is environmentally friendly & sustainably produced🌐.

@@joniyoungart He is and I just love him. He was on the right track. When you think about how large we are (USA) it's reasonable for people to have vague knowledge about our geography. When I was in England last time and mentioned I was from Oregon, the person next to me said, "Oh, isn't that near Florida!?" I just had to laugh because most Americans are terrible at our own geography, let a lone other continents and countries. I have even had to tactfully educate some that had no idea that England was an island across from France. Alas, we can not all be experts at everything for sure but I do know that Scotman is expert at funny!
