Tell the truth, do you turn yourself on?

A House with a View

“The situation was so glorious, the house so commonplace, not to say impertinent. Other houses in the neighborhood had been built by expensive architects... while Windy Corner seemed as inevitable as an ugliness of Nature’s own creation."

So goes Forster's wonderful description of Windy Corner, the home of Lucy Honeychurch in his novel 'A Room with a View' published in 1908.

The images in todays post show the charming (and not in the least commonplace) location chosen for Windy Corner in the Merchant Ivory film of 1986. For my mind this is one of the chief selling points of the film and the thought of long lazy afternoons playing tennis here are the stuff of many a daydream.
