Any Shakespeare in Love fans?
Saturday we went to Broughton Castle, the home of lovely Lord and Lady Sele, with the family name of Fiennes...spark your knowledge? We went on a private tour and wow...I loved it so much. The rooms are so pretty, again making me wish I lived there. I however, absolutely ADORED the grounds. The rose garden, though not in bloom, was so pretty. Very well landscaped, with certain bushes formed in different shapes. Now the name of Fiennes, did it spark any interest? Well I hope it did because Joseph and Ralph Fiennes, both prominent actors, are cousins of Lord and Lady Sele! Now think to the film Shakespeare in Love, when you first see a shot of Lady Viola's house....that's right this castle was the home of Viola de Lessup in the movie:) I got to wander a movie set, on a private tour. The balcony that Gweneth Paltrow goes on, yeah that is not part of the castle, they built that specifically. And they had at least 150 cardboard boxes to break Joseph Fienne's stunt double's fall (the scene where he climbs the balcony for the first time and sees the nurse, screams, and falls!) and they were extra careful cause that stunt double had broken his leg on the Titanic...lol!
The castle was extremely cold inside, unlike the warm weather outside. But I guess that is the other side of the coin. Maybe they have a cute son or cousin or something that is need of a girlfriend....
