Happiness Jars – Update

I must have blinked… January has been and gone and I hardly noticed it. That means it is one month since I started writing down my ‘Happiness Moments’ of the day. I have stayed on track and placed at least one thought in there each day.

When I look at the box it makes me smile and want to delve in to lucky dip one of my previous ‘Happy Thoughts’ from my ‘Box of Happiness’

Cragside Glasshouse

From the Cragside Garden Blog:

The Orchard House, we believe, was built circa 1870′s. We have no official documentation with regards to this but photos from around this time show the Orchard House and the old Top Terrace glasshouse range. However we believe that Lord Armstrong possibly designed the Orchard House and a company called Mackenzie and Moncur Hothouse Builders, Heating and Ventilating Engineers built the Top Terrace glasshouse range.

In 1993 the National Trust dismantled the original structure of the Orchard House and started the restoration. All of the metalwork was retained and approximately 10% of the glass has been reused. This has a slightly purle tint to it. The wooden framework is an exact replica of what was dismantled. In 1994 Sir David Bellamy came and placed the last finial on the top of the roof and officially opened the Orchard House.

Whilst researching for some information to go along with this post I came across a new National Trust blog about the Cragside formal garden. The latest post on the blog shows a little tidy up operation on the clock tower view in my recent post.

Here are some different views of the Dahlia Walk that I took in 2009.
