I think it was really the lockdown that prompted me to stop taking things too easily and actually go out and visit the places I had always wanted to see. One of them was Monk’s House, Virginia Woolf’s 17th-century summer home in East Sussex. I drove all the way from the Cotswolds one summer for a day trip, and it was worth it, especially as it was a hot summer’s day. It’s a very small house, so there isn’t a lot to do, but I enjoyed it nevertheless. Afterwards, I made a few more pit stops along the way and really made use of my National Trust card and app. I hope you enjoy these images.

Little garden.I really liked the originality of the place — it felt authentic. These days, you see many wannabes trying to copy this “look”, but nothing beats the real thing.
