Do you remember this cozy cottage from the film, 'The Holiday'?
I have visited Shere several times,
where portions of the movie were filmed
but I've never been able to find this house
{ Otherwise I'd be writing from there now }
This delightful romantic comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet
is a classic chick flick to put you in the holiday mood
In a nutshell, their characters swap homes for Christmas -
Diaz's contemporary Southern California home for
Winslet's English country cottage and vice versa
A few yummy scenes / eye candy of the English cottage from 'The Holiday'
Love, love, love!
This last photo makes me laugh because
I really did sleep in my big parka and scarf just last week!
I live an old home that is cold and drafty
If I could knit myself a nose hat, I would :)
Now for some photos from the movie set in England
I believe a lot of these photos are from the DVD's Special Features

This is the High Street in Shere
Ah, I just love Shere
Now, ready for a little twisty?
Here are more photos of my old, charming 17th Century cottage, in the making...
Unbelievable, I know - a bit of a heartbreak
The house was thrown up in just a few weeks in a field {and since torn down}
Now I know why I couldn't find that cottage! But here's the good news
This cottage is for available to rent in the Cotswolds and looks like Iris's cozy home

And the other good news is I now know I can hire a movie crew
to build me a charming 17th Century English cottage one day :)
