"JUN16: A Glimpse into the Fascinating World of Daphne du Maurier and Beyond" Step back in time to 1945, where acclaimed author Daphne du Maurier found solace at her Cornish home, Menabilly. With its picturesque surroundings, it's no wonder this place inspired some of her greatest literary works. From there, let your imagination take flight to the Suspension Pier in Seaview, Isle of Wight. This iconic landmark offers breathtaking views of Hampshire's coastline and serves as a reminder of the timeless beauty that nature has to offer. In another corner of England, a Craven A advertisement featuring tennis captures the essence of leisure and elegance during that era. It transports us to a time when sportsmanship was celebrated with style. Venturing further across Europe, we find ourselves aboard Les Vedettes (Powered Lake Craft) at Dinard, France. The tranquil waters provide an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration – a true escape from everyday life. Our journey then takes us all the way to Mexico's Adobe House - Bake Ovens and Mules add an authentic touch to this rustic abode. Immerse yourself in Mexican culture as you explore their traditional methods and embrace their rich heritage. Leaving behind Latin America, we arrive at Beirut's Grand Oriental Hotel in Lebanon. This architectural gem stands tall amidst bustling city streets – a testament to resilience and grandeur even during challenging times. Further east lies Odessa in Ukraine; its docks showcase vibrant activity while nearby theaters entertain locals and visitors alike. And who can resist Longeron Sea Beach? Its golden sands beckon sun-seekers yearning for relaxation by the sea. Heading south once more brings us to Tripoli in Lebanon – its rooftops offering panoramic views that capture both history and modernity harmoniously coexisting side by side. Amidst these captivating locations emerges Countess Cromer, a figure of grace and elegance.
