What perfect timing. Said it before: the OLI Wheatly file will cure whatever ails you. The headlines have done me in, I am off to the Wheatley file for some soul communion.

Agree! Agree! Agree! Another new and fantastic view of Wheatly goes a long way.
Look at the old fashioned lawn-mower off to the right. It must have taken forever to mow the lawns of these estates that way.
Before power mowers, the bigger lawns would have been mown by horses pulling a reel mower. Said horses would have had booties on their feet also
This fountain, along with the chapel and a few out buildings are all that remain of Wheatley. I love driving up the hill to imagine the rest of what it looked like when Wheatley still existed in whole. I am so lucky to live so close to so many of the houses featured on Zach's blog. I guess that is what spurred my passion for these estates.
