I’ve always wanted to live in a house with sloping ceilings in the bedrooms!

Me too! And I do. But I’m tall – so sometimes it’s a pain in the neck 😉

Delightful, isn’t it? Although we found driving around Brittany somewhat more hectic and challenging than southern France, there is a whole different flavour in Brittany.

I love the idea of being tucked up snugly watching the world go by below, unseen.

Yes, that’s the image I carry … as long as one isn’t a damsel in distress in the tower. 😉

Those windows make me think of fairy stories and wicked witches, they have so much character

Well further along the roof line in one or two of those was the characteristic ‘witches hat’, an architectural feature I really like. 😉

I imagine these dormers to have snug and cozy window seats and would love to curl up in one and watch the world outside my window, especially on a rainy day.

Amazing how windows have changed over the years from these relatively small (but insulating) earlier styles to the enormous viewing areas permitted by the architectural glass of today.

Yes, and while the ones of today provide some expansive views and allow a lot of light in, the older ones win out on character and charm.

I do actually like both but I also believe it is the variety that makes life so refreshing. Both are lovely in their own way.

Well the larger expanses of glass provide some interesting photography opportunities for reflections – I have been seeking them out lately. 😉

That’s true. It can give a very interesting perspective. And the older timber framed windows often provide a somewhat more romantic or classical atmosphere to a shot I think.
