Cottage at Murrayfield House
Cottage | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 4
|Key Info
Away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, The Cottage at Murrayfield House makes for the perfect get away. On arrival, you are greeted with green fields and rows of blossoming trees lining the driveway to the cottage. The location offers rural West Sussex at its best, combined with the convenience of being just a short drive from many attractions, amenities and places of interest.
The cottage is furnished with modern fittings throughout, carefully chosen to fit the country style in which it is placed. One of the lovely features of the property is the resemblance to that of a chalet with its delightful first floor balcony and quaint table and chairs, making it ideal to share a glass of bubbly on a warm evening.
Upon entering the cottage, you find yourself in a good size hall which links to a large open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is well equipped and includes a dishwasher, washing machine, cooker and microwave. From the hall you will also find the cottage's cosy and comfortable sitting room with television, DVD player and iPod docking station... so don't forget to bring your tunes with you.
On the first floor are the cottage's two large and comfortable bedrooms. There is a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with French doors opening out onto the balcony and providing you with a view of the lush walled garden. In-between the two bedrooms is a good sized family bathroom with a separate bath and shower enclosure.
Guests can make use of the tennis court in the grounds of the owner's house, which neighbours the cottage and there parking is available on the gravelled driveway.

Some of the best attractions in West Sussex are situated within a fifteen minute drive of this village. There is the sandy beach at West Wittering, only about nine miles away, which is regarded as one of the best beaches in southern England. There is sailing at Chichester Harbour, golf (two courses), and horse racing and motor sport at Goodwood, which is only a few miles from the property. The beautiful cathedral city of Chichester lies less than three miles to the west, and the South Downs lie just to the north.There is horse racing in nearby Fontwell, and Tangmere has the historic military museum.
Placed within a ten minute drive of both historic Chichester and the old town or Arundel, The Cottage at Murrayfield House is the perfect base for exploring all that the area has to offer. In Chichester, you can walk the Roman city walls, visit the grand Cathedral and finish with a spot of lunch or dinner in one of the many local cafes and restaurants. The quaint town of Arundel is brimming with history and is dominated by its famous castle (you won't believe that during in 18th Century it once laid in partial ruins as you look up at its grand turrets and towers!)
For those that are fans of the local Goodwood motor racing events, such as the Goodwood Revival and Goodwood Festival of Speed, Murrayfield Cottage is within about a 10 minute drive of the Goodwood Estate. Keen golfers, you will also find Goodwood golf course within a short drive and there are miles of countryside walks with easy reach for those just looking to go for a hefty hike or a peaceful stroll.

"Superb Cottage with generous grounds and a tennis course neighbouring a Country House"
With two young sporty boys the location, tennis court, generous grounds and airy house ticked all the boxes. Perhaps being only 50-75 metres from the large owners dwelling may not suit everyone but the Proprietors were very friendly. Also you are along a long, tree lined drive so there is plenty of privacy. Add in the fact you are only 10 minutes drive from the coast/ Chichester/Arundel, 20 minutes from the South Downs and 30 minutes from Portsmouth and the motorway network I would describe the location as ideal for exploring. We even made it to Brighton in our weeks stay but the bests trips were to Petworth and Indecote/ Bosham

Outside the Fence: I Don't Like the Other Moms at School
By loveandotherdelights on January 16, 2013
Featured Member Post
When Little Guy was five, we lucked out with admission to a full time Pre-K program at a school outside of our zone. It was a year of tardies (I say without pride that I was notorious for those) thanks to our mile long walk that was not alleviated by the public transit system. But despite the daily trek, our first venture in school was great. Little Guy loved being at school. I loved picking him up afterwards... and it wasn't just because we couldn't be marked tardy heading back home. It was because I always looked forward to the afternoon chats with the other moms.
We chatted about homework and shopping. We made plans for playdates and museum trips, childfree coffeeshop trips.
But before I spend too much time reminiscing, I'll just say it: I don't like after school pickup at Little Guy's new school.
I stop short of saying I don't like the moms at this school, because I'm sure a majority of them are nice. But so many of them move so quickly from picking up their kids to leaving that there isn't much of a chance to chat. Then there are those moms that arrive early, chatting in their small groups. I could easily walk up and introduce myself, but instead I stand outside the fence of the play yard catching up on my e-mails.
Credit: eyeliam.
Yesterday afternoon just highlighted the reason for my apprehension. I was standing within the play yard while the classes were being dismissed, and I could overhear bits of chatter from a group of moms next to us. "Look at her today," one said to the other. "Yeah, she was wearing skinny jeans yesterday." I realized they were talking about one of the other moms as she walked past them. "What kind of tights are those? I could get them for 3.99 from the kids store."
"Who does she think she is? Lady Gaga?"
They were standing among a crowd of laughing moms and the group was within earshot of the woman they were gossiping about. One was even standing with her preteen daughter.
I mentally reiterated to myself that I don't like being there.
I've shifted my ideas of what this post is really about. Is it about how these grown women believed it appropriate to gossip in front of their children? Or maybe how mothers of daughters could find amusement in judging another woman based on her appearance. Maybe it's about allowing the actions of a few to discredit the whole.
But I suppose really this post is about how cautious I've become making new friends since becoming a mom. I made the mistake early of believing motherhood could be the sole bond to a friendship, but in the end was disappointed at how little the other women and I had to talk about or agree upon.
Then I have to figure out what to say when Little Guy asks where his playdate buddy is. What do I tell him? "Mommy didn't want to be friends with his mommy." I'm supposed to be teaching him how to interact with others and build relationships. Yes, teaching him how to end relationships sort of just comes with the territory, but I can't let that be the only action he sees me doing. So I've been passive in pursuing friendships, instead relying on my husband's seemingly natural magnetism to teach Little Guy about friendship.
And along the way, I'll been taking notes for myself.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- In a story July 3 about a Libertarian Party lawsuit challenging Virginia's ballot access laws, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the plaintiffs include nine former candidates. They are current candidates -- one for U.S. Senate and eight for U.S. House of Representatives.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Libertarian Party challenges Va. ballot laws
Libertarian Party files lawsuit claiming Va. laws give major party candidates unfair advantage
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The Libertarian Party and nine Virginia candidates have filed a lawsuit challenging state laws that they claim give Democrats and Republicans an unfair advantage in elections.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Richmond against the three-member Virginia State Board of Elections. Robert Sarvis, last year's Libertarian candidate for governor and its current candidate for U.S. Senate, is the lead plaintiff.
According to the complaint, Virginia's ballot access laws violate the Constitution's equal protection and freedom of association guarantees. Those state laws require minor party candidates to gather signatures on petitions to get on the ballot and place their names below those of major-party candidates on the ballot.
The state attorney general's office represents the elections board. Spokesman Michael Kelly said Thursday that the office hasn't received the lawsuit.

After the bushfires, Margaret River, south Western Australia.
40 homes and untold acres of bushland were destroyed in the devastating Margaret River bushfires after a "controlled burn" got out of control, late November 2011.
Canon 40D, Canon 10-22mm, F8, 1/640th, ISO 200
G'day Jill.
An excellent dramatic treatment of this disaster, recently seen only on TV. The area where I live now was devastated by bushfire in 2001. Nine houses lost in the street, my friends saved their timber and cedar clad home by staying and fighting. In another major bushfire in the Northern suburbs of Sydney, many years ago, I spent a day as a volunteer on a fire truck and witnessed at first hand the awesome unstoppable power of a bushfire. Never forget seeing a house virtually explode in the intense heat – and we could do nothing to stop it. :)george
Many thanks George, sorry to hear of the bushfire in your area in 2001 and you witnessed it first hand as a volunteer, very brave!. I've never experienced the devastation but can well imagine the horror of it all! We arrived there a week after the fires and the smoke and charred remains were still very evident. ~ cheers

Simply superbly captured.
Thanks very much Julie ~ cheers

MET Matchup: Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Kristin Davisby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Both Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis showed up in New York City last night for the annual Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While these two might get along in the Sex and the City 2 trailer, they are competing against each other below.
Readers must decide if they like Kristin's simple, elegant black gown; or would prefer to walk around in Parker's more elaborate outfit, replete with giant hair bow.
Once you make up your mind, visit the THG Fashion Store and put together an ensemble that would make these stars proud...
[Photos: Splash News]
Kristin Davis is one of the most beautiful women in the world & Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse. This poll is silly
The word "pretty" and Sarah Jessica Parker should never be in the same sentence unless the word"not" is included.

"I came out the womb, man. This how I am. I'm built like this."
There's an elephant in the room. What is it exactly? Kevin Garnett's career is almost over. This could be his last year. Or he could go on to play two more seasons. Either way, it's something I've come to grips with and realized in three stages. The first is when his game began shifting away from the post into the classic old man mid-range jump shot realm. The second was Game Two of last year's second round match-up against the Heat when LeBron kept going up while KG (it seemed) almost never got off the ground. And third, yesterday. With Garnett not making the Eastern Conference's All-Star reserves, it marks the first time in 14 years he'll be absent from the midseason classic. K.G.'s been just as important to the progression of the NBA post-Jordan (second retirement) as anybody else.
At first, focusing on Kevin's place in history was going to be the theme of what you're reading. Where is he on the list of all-time power forwards? How does he stand against his generation's most comparable foe (Tim Duncan)? Did he stay in Minnesota too long? Nearly a hundred other questions lingered, but none seemed more important than one in particular. How should the man once referred to as "The Big Ticket" ultimately be remembered?
More than his points, rebounds, post-game reaction after the 2008 Finals or the instant classic "bar fight" quote with Craig Sager, Garnett will always be glorified for one moment in my personal rolodex. And that moment happened off the court. In 2005, the Minnesota Timberwolves were coming off a season where they made the Western Conference Finals. KG was the NBA's reigning MVP, thanks to a season that saw him produce a dizzying 24-14-5-2-50% (points-rebounds-assists-blocks-FG%). By the time he sat down John Thompson, however, the bottom had all but caved in, headlined by Flip Saunders' firing, as well as the team crumbling for a variety of issues.
This interview with Thompson told me everything I needed to know about Garnett, the player, and Garnett, the man. It's that powerful. Excluding only Allen Iverson, no superstar in basketball during this time wore emotions on his jersey more than K.G. Lost in translation now, there was once a period when the perception around him permeated questions about his ability to produce when it mattered most and if he would ever spawn into the winner his skills seemingly dictated (the Wolves were eliminated in the first round for seven consecutive seasons begninning in 1996-97). Dealing with the pressure from his own conscience, combined with that of the expectations of being an elite player, the result were tears.
Winning's addictive if, for no other reason, it represents the ultimate high. It's seen on the face of players who reach that level of success. Yet, it's also seen on the face of those who seek their profession's top honor, but fall short. Kevin's tears were much more than him being the overly emotional, attention-hungry player he's often viewed as. They were the reason cries for his departure to leave Minnesota rang loud during the mid-2000's. Not to the extent of witnessing a loved one in pain, K.G. carrying a franchise that appeared hell-bent seeing him climb a mountain no individual has ever reached on their own was gut-wrenching. But he tried. Over and over and over again. You respected his tenacity. You had to, but you also knew in the back of your head that he couldn't do this forever. When was "too late" going to arrive?
In a decade which saw Kobe and Shaq create a legacy of winning and controversy while Tim Duncan solidified himself as the game's greatest four, the lesson Garnett provided basketball moving forward was equally as impactful. His move to Boston afforded him that ring many were beginning to think would never arrive, due to his years in Minnesota. It's his loyalty (almost to a fault) which serves as a small reason why the NBA free agency process is as knee-jerk as it is now. K.G.'s now memorable conversation with LeBron following the Celtics victory over the Cavs in 2010 isn't the sole cause for James deflecting to Miami. His quote, however, spoke volumes.
"Loyalty is something that hurts you at times, because you can't get youth back. I can honestly say that if I could go back and do my situation over, knowing what I know now with this organization, I'd have done it a little sooner."
Granted, the 2010 version of Kevin Garnett couldn't tell the 2005 version of himself this, but with mistakes come the ability to teach. Now am I suggesting Kevin Garnett is responsible for the modern-day Miami Heat, or Carmelo Anthony forcing his way to New York, or Dwight Howard's current vice grip over league headlines? Not exactly. However, every superstar since this interview has seen this clip. And they've all given thought in regards to their current situations and debated how far their own God-given talents could place them in history. At some point, it's bigger than one person. In his own words, "This ain't golf. This ain't tennis. It ain't about me. It's about us."
The eternal nuisance of being labeled a "loser" haunted him far beyond a three-second call or an offensive foul. It was evident as he admitted to barely sleeping while his voice cracked and eyes remained glossy the entire clip, even tearing up to the point where he could hardly speak on several occasions. With his armor obviously battered, Kevin Garnett's vulnerability never appeared stronger. Too often in sports, we see expectations from a fan perspective. We want. We yell. We kick. We deal with the agony of defeat in our own way. That's just how we're programmed. Dealing with the weight of the team, fanbase, city and world on your shoulders? Just know there are some battles in life impossible to describe…unless you're going through them.

There is a sadness that has spread across Republican land in Utah and it's not helping that the pockets of surviving Democrats are being so giddy about the outcome of the recent election.
We all knew that the election was going to leave in its wake a lot of disappointed people and one really bummed-out candidate and yet we let them fight it out to the end anyway. Now some people feel like they are in enemy territory no matter where they go. America the great is slipping away, as they see it.
I don't feel so bad about things. I voted for President Obama once just so he wouldn't have bad feelings about Utah and unleash the military on us as soon as he wrapped up all the wars overseas.
While the candidates like to bill themselves as one person who can act as a king and fix everything, the truth is it is a much messier process than we want to believe. President Obama billed himself as the one person who could bring us hope and change — and then, four years later, had a heck of a time coming up with a new message that would resonate. "It could have been much worse" just didn't have quite the punch of his first message, and yet he sold it.
What we need is the political equivalent of Phoenix Jones of Seattle. I saw author Jon Ronson interviewed on "The Daily Show" by Jon Stewart about Phoenix recently.
(Here's how Entertainment Weekly describes Ronson's work. It says he interviews people who "cling tightly to doubtful notions.")
Phoenix Jones thinks himself a real-life superhero. He's got the build of a superhero and he wears a pretty impressive bulletproof superhero costume, but he has no superpowers. I saw a YouTube video of him breaking up a fight, only to find a woman who attacked him afterward for interfering.
Jon Ronson wanted to see him at work first-hand and said that the weekend he visited Phoenix, there was a dearth of crime going on and it proved frustrating. At one point, however, Phoenix heard a woman screaming in distress so he shouted, "Yahtzee!" and went out to save her. ("Yahtzee!" is apparently his superhero cry.)
On the way to save her, however, someone recognized him and he had to stop to have his picture taken with the admirer. By the time he was done, the woman in distress had vanished.
Ronson said Phoenix decided to go break up a gang of 30 armed drug dealers. Ronson was not so keen on this idea because he says Phoenix tends to be a very anxious person under normal circumstances that don't involve armed drug dealers. Phoenix had a bulletproof vest on and Ronson had a cardigan sweater to protect himself.
They did it anyway and as Ronson described it, the dealers couldn't believe their eyes.
They said to Phoenix, "What are you doing coming here to our bock wearing your stupid outfit? This is not fun and games for us — this is real life." Ronson said he was paraphrasing and now I'm paraphrasing Ronson.
They tried to reason with him and said that to die confronting them in a superhero outfit would be a ridiculous way to go. It would embarrass his mother. He should live to a ripe old age and die. They were threatening to kill him.
Phoenix stood his ground.
So, the gang members just decided to go home. Phoenix won. Now in defense of the gang members, I'm guessing they just had no way to process this and they can't be blamed for being bad guys. What do you do when some guy like this shows up on your turf?
Stewart suggested they must have imagined that Phoenix wouldn't be so bold if he didn't have lasers or some kind of secret weapon he could pull on them. They were just playing it safe.

It's that time of year again: The season when fans flock to their beloved stadium bleachers for hot dogs, beer and, of course, the boys of summer. Players are not only returning to the field, but also making their way back to the big screen — only, not in the traditional way.
A feature adaptation of Sullivan's Sluggers is in the works, and while the plot revolves around the supernatural, it's a far cry from Field of Dreams. The 200-page horror baseball graphic novel, by Andrew Smith and James Stokoe, follows a minor league manager named Casey Sullivan and his rag-tag team, The Sluggers, as they fight for their lives in a town overrun with "shape-shifting monsters."
Interesting details on the work were already spilled by producers Todd Garner of Broken Road Productions and Adam Herz & Joshua Shader of Terra Firma Films – they consider it an homage to horror masters Sam Raimi and George Romero, what with the good mix of terror and laughs. Not too shabby for a Kickstarter-funded project that was four years in the making. [THR]
It was also reported that sibling writing team Tom & Tim Mullen are in charge of the script. As long as they keep the action heavy on monsters and low on actual ball playing, even a big sports hater like myself can look forward to this.
Have you read Sullivan's Sluggers? Do you think the world is ready for a horror sports movie?

Hilarious Heavenly Jokes
Two priests died at the same time and met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "I'd like to get you guys in now, but our computer is down. You'll have to go back to Earth for about a week, but you can't go back as priests. So what else would you like to be?"
The first priest says, "I've always wanted to be an eagle, soaring above the Rocky Mountains."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and off flies the first priest.
The second priest mulls this over for a moment and asks, "Will any of this week 'count', St. Peter?"
"No, I told you the computer's down. There's no way we can keep track of what you're doing."
"In that case," says the second priest, "I've always wanted to be a stud."
"So be it," says St. Peter, and the second priest disappears.
A week goes by, the computer is fixed, and the Lord tells St. Peter to recall the two priests. "Will you have any trouble locating them?" He asks.
"The first one should be easy," says St. Peter. "He's somewhere over the Rockies, flying with the eagles. But the second one could prove to be more difficult."
"Why?" asketh the Lord.
"He's on a snow tire, somewhere in North Dakota."
