Lady Stairs Close, Edinburgh, Scotland
Lady Stairs House was built in 1622 for Sir William Gray of Pittendrum, a successful merchant. At that time it was common for the wealthy to live tucked away down one of Edinburgh’s many passageways, away from the noise of the main streets.
Sir William’s fortune turned, however during the civil war in 1640s. He was fined and later imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle for corresponding with the Scottish Royalist, James Graham. A further ordeal occurred in 1645 when Willam Gray’s daughter died of the plague.
These events were to hasten Gray’s death, which took place in 1648. His widow, Geida, survived him and continued to live in the house for many years. Eventually the close leading to the house became known as Lady Gray’s Close in her honor. It kept that name until the 18th century when Lady Stair moves into the house, and the close was re-named after her.
By the 1890s, Lady Stair’s House was in poor condition, and ready for demolition. It was saved by Lord Rosenberg, a distant relative of Sir William Gray, who bought the house in 1893 and commissioned George Shaw to restore it.
Today Lady Stair’s House is home to the Writers’ Museum, with displays celebrating authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Robert Burns and Robert Louis Stevenson.
It’s open Monday - Saturday and admission is free.

Anyone else experience these magazines? I had loads of these and I never got rid of them. I was so addicted to searching these out whenever I was near a magazine stand. Every little detail, hours of entertainment. Yup, pricey but worth it.
If you’ve ever wondered how the elite few peruse, how the extremely wealthy live, life & shop this is it! This magazine has everything, from buying private islands and jet planes to the latest 500k must have watches. Ads unlike any other. It’s insane, it’s fascinating and definitely worth a look.
The Haunting of Bly Manor
Honestly, it’s been well over a year and I haven’t found anything as good as The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix. These days, I spend more time browsing than time watching.
Intelligent, literary and with more emotional family moments than four seasons of This is Us, Hill House was way more than just your run-of-the-mill haunted house yarn. It also kept my interest (rare) as well as kept me up at night. The bent neck lady is a great haunt.
The second season, entitled The Haunting Of Bly Manor, has wrapped a mere 16hrs ago, meaning it won’t be too long at all until our spines will be tingling once again.
Similar to season one, which was based on Shirley Jackson’s classic novel, Bly House will also draw inspiration from literature, and is loosely based on Henry James’ The Turning of the Screw.
An exact date has yet to be given, however Bly Manor is scheduled to creep into your Netflix account at some point in 2020. Seeing as how Hill House landed in October 2018, fans are confident we could be getting season 2 during the Halloween season.

Is it bizarre that THIS just made my bucket list?

Discover The Breathtaking Opal Gemstone Called ‘Rainbow Tree’ From Australia
Opals are created by a mixture of silicon dioxide and water. Silica is carried down into rock crevices by heavy rains, and when the water evaporates, the silica gel hardens and is deposited in the form of tiny spheres. My Dad taught me that, along with everything else gemstone, rock and mineral related. I guess that’s the benefit of have a geologist as a father.
