Meenzer 15871 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 ...in this translation I'm busy with at the minute: Hedsor House Where Mediterranean flair meets English tradition. Built in the style of an Italian villa and surrounded by idyllic gardens, this 19th century English country manor house offers picturesque views of the Thames Valley and the county of Berkshire. Queen Victoria is said to have been a frequent visitor in the early 1920s, taking tea at the house on many an occasion. Do you think I should tell them?
