A sunny spring garden at Standen House, West Sussex. A gravel path and wooden fence lead toward stone steps, framed by an explosion of colourful trees including deep red Japanese maples, bright yellow-green foliage and dark evergreens. The historic Arts and Crafts house with red brick chimney and arched windows is visible to the right. A deep blue sky stretches above.

Monday again. But yesterday looked like this.

Standen House, West Sussex. Ancient gardens, blue skies and colours that remind you what the weekend is actually for.

Quarter page from an old newspaper dated July 10, 1914. An advertisement reads: Weddings! Weddings! ELECTRIC CARRIAGES provided for these ceremonies at cheap rates to suit the means of every class. PRIVATE LOCK-UPS FOR PETROL CARS, 10/- PER WEEK.

Nah - this new fangled "electric carriage" thing will never catch on!
