I enjoyed the quotes and the photographs, especially the one of you sitting on the garden wall. It is such a treat to visit the places where authors lived and wrote from.
What a beautiful post, Julie! The cottage and its gardens are everything a home and garden inhabited by Elizabeth Goudge ought to be. :) And the way you interspersed the photos of her home with passages from her books makes those passages resonate in new, lovely, almost haunting ways.
This is so lovely! I feel like I visited Rose Cottage in my heart through your photographs and descriptions, and I hope to one day visit it in person! Thank you so much for sharing!
We knocked on the door but no one answered. The half wall I am leaning on is right near the alley though, so it was nice to be able to see so much from the road. :)
Can one stay at Rose Cottage? I plan to visit this summer! She is one of my favorite two authors!
No, unfortunately it is a private home. It would be wonderful to raise the funds to make a museum there someday 🙌📚🥰

Thanks Kimberlee! They really leapt off the page for me in this context as well. She a beautiful place from which to write her best novels <3

It is such a quiet little spot. I hope you can stop sometime! :)
So lovely. How wonderful that you were able to linger in her garden. Love the Scent of Water quotes.
