Whether in the country or the city, I am captivated by the view out of a window. At my small Dorset cottage, this fascination finds its fullest expression. The timber-framed windows act as living portraits, framing ever-changing scenes of the forest, open fields, and distant hills. From the comfort of my bed, the night sky unveils a silver moonlit glow or the mesmerizing movement of clouds illuminated by the soft light of dawn.
Each window was carefully positioned to establish a sense of connection to the surrounding landscape, ensuring that the natural world remains a constant and calming presence. The cottage becomes a vessel for observing the rhythms of the countryside — the gentle sway of trees, the flight of birds, and the shifting patterns of light.
This deliberate framing invites contemplation and nurtures a deep appreciation for nature’s subtle beauty. In doing so, Keepers Cottage transcends its modest scale, offering a profound sense of place and tranquility.
