Greetings from the enchanting county of Dorset, England! Our latest adventure has taken us to a truly magical place—a beautiful country house nestled in the heart of this picturesque region. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a fairy-tale.

The house itself is a stunning blend of historic charm and modern comfort. With its grand architecture, cosy fireplaces, and elegant rooms, it has provided the perfect backdrop for our world schooling journey. The large windows offer breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside, allowing us to wake up to the sight of rolling hills and lush greenery every morning.
Adding to the charm of this beautiful home are the delightful animal residents. The manor's grounds are shared with five friendly dogs, two gorgeous cats, two majestic peacocks, five playful ducks, three wise owls, and a bustling bunch of chickens. Each day has brought us new joy and laughter as we interact with these wonderful creatures. Dylan has especially enjoyed making friends with the dogs and watching the peacocks display their vibrant feathers.
The gardens including a swimming pool here are a true haven. We've spent countless hours wandering through manicured lawns, vibrant flower beds, and tranquil wooded areas, often accompanied by our furry and feathered friends. Each corner of the estate holds its own unique beauty, inviting us to pause and appreciate the serenity of nature. The presence of the animals adds an extra layer of enchantment, making our walks feel like scenes from a storybook.
Our temporary home has also been a wonderful place for creativity and learning. The spacious rooms and serene environment have inspired us to dive into our studies and projects with renewed energy. Whether it's reading in a sunlit corner, writing a new book the terrace, or simply enjoying quiet family moments by the fire, this manor house has been a perfect setting for both relaxation and growth.
Being here has also given us a unique perspective on the local culture and history. We've learned so much about Dorset's rich heritage, from its ancient architecture to its timeless traditions. The local community have been incredibly welcoming, adding a warm and personal touch to our stay.

In the evenings, as the sun sets and casts a golden glow over the countryside, we often find ourselves reflecting on the beauty and magic of this place. The manor house has not only been a comfortable refuge but also a source of inspiration and joy. The presence of the animals has made it feel even more like a home, reminding us of the simple pleasures and connections that make life special.
Our time in Dorset has been nothing short of magical, and this country manor house, along with its delightful animal residents, have been the perfect home base for our adventures. We feel so grateful to have experienced this enchanting place,
