The first visit of 2014, and what a change from December 2013 (below)! There has been a lot of landscaping – the outside appearance has changed considerably and the fountain (right) is under construction, but it’s indoors that there is most noticeable difference.
The main hall now has its chandeliers in place, some are covered for protection before the official opening later on.
The library (below) is now awaiting its finishing touches.
The decor has come a long way since September (below)
The pagoda, left, which we saw in the December 2013 visit, was destroyed in the winter storms and a replacement is now being assembled.
The terrace, right, leads out from the Dining Room (below right), while the corridor on the left (below) will take you into the main house.
