Photo: Lowndes Grove architectural detail. Thought: I often find myself reclining amongst the marsh grass listening to the dulcet tones of a flute-playing, winged cherub. Thanks for the gentle reminder from a fan who said, hey, where are the photos?! New Lowndes Grove renovation photos are up. The clock is ticking! Some fine craftsmen: painters, bricklayers, [...]
