Photograph taken at Cliveden

It is an ambition of mine to visit all of the National Trust Country Houses in the UK. I particularly like these large estates as the interiors hold an infinite number of objects, all of which possess a story and meaning; even the grand portraits of Countesses and Lords have a story line.

I would have loved to be able to take part in one Channel 4's 'below stairs' documentaries, and I enjoy watching any kind of period drama and film: essentially anything where the set and costumes are large features. The most lavish film I have seen with my above preferences is possibly 'Marie Antoinette' starring Kirstin Dunst; every detail has been scrutinized in this film; from the type of cutlery, champagne glasses, china, to quality of makeup.
