I am still in England today, so to speak, showing enchanting English cottages. These fairy-tale type cottages are in England and have ivy or moss growing on them. A comment I saw sums it up for me. ”Oh thine beautiful England, I doth thee my cap!”
A reader sent me the awesome foliage covered cottage shown below. I traced it to a Facebook called 1,000,000 Pictures where people love this fairy-tale English cottage. They also comment that it would bring bugs, or is a fire hazard, which I did not think of. All I thought was that it was beautiful. Someone lovingly trimmed the foliage above the windows.

This English cottage is in Yorkshire via dyingofcute tumblr and it is indeed dying of cuteness.

How do you feel about vines growing on your house? Would you leave it or go crazy and start hacking away until you felt in control.
This photo from imgur.com, an image sharing blog, is going around Pinterest as a ruined cottage with comments that it is “sunk.” I’ll take it ruined as it. It looks more like a castle with a moat. My sleuth skills failed to find any other information.
Proverbs quote: ”Better joy in a cottage than sorrow in a palace.”
Thomas Kincade: “Everyone can identify with a fragrant garden, with beauty of sunset, with the quiet of nature, and with a warm and cozy cottage.”
I love vines on everyones housebut mine. We lived in Georgia for several years and the ivy could grow over a window during one night
Oh my gosh, crazy fast ivy grows in one night! No wonder the first house looks like it does.

I have lived in a home covered in Ivy as a young girl. It might be why I love the English style so much. I would have no problem living in a home covered in Ivy again.

It is so great to hear from someone who has lived in an Ivy covered house.

Oh Sue, time to come home – these English cottages are way too dreamy! As for if I would like ivy all over my house… I would like the look of it but the possibility of snakes living in there really freaks me out! (Remember that scene from Under the Tuscan Sun??)
I hate snakes, I don’t even like to say the word. I have Under the Tuscan Sun in my line up to watch and do a post on, so I will have to look for that scene because I don’t remember it. I am sick as can be this week, so thanks for stopping.
