A nice visit to Rudyard Kipling's house, but watch out for the ghost!
Bateman's的点评
点评：A lovely house hidden away in the Sussex countryside, home of legendary author Rudyard Kipling. Plenty to see in this maze of a house, huge gardens and a plentiful car park. I recommend the short walk to the mill at the far side of the estate.
I'm pretty certain I encountered the ghost of Mr.Kipling here, only for a fleeting moment. Ascending the stairs to the first floor, I became aware of someone behind me. Upon turning, for a brief instant, I saw a gentlemen dressed in a fashion becoming that of the 1910's - 1920's. Initially I though it was a volunteer dressed in period dress, however, within a moment the gentlemen disappeared. Looking at one of the portraits of Mr.Kipling, I realised that the "person" I saw looked exactly like him...!!! Make of that what you will. I did ask a couple of volunteers if there had been reports of a ghost. One said that they hadn't seen anything, but another mentioned that they had heard a few stories of a presence in the house.
I enjoyed my visit here, as the house and displays were very interesting and on the whole the guides were fantastic. The were only two downsides, one was the very narrow road to get to the property, if you're unlucky enough to meet an oncoming vehicle - you're going to get stuck. Also, the only exception to the otherwise superb staff, was the gentleman in the book room / shop. We were discussing music and he was quite insulting about my taste in Wagner's ring cycle - to the point of almost calling me far right. If i had got his name, I would have reported him and named him here. That said, it wasn't enough to ruin what was an excellent visit.
One thing I would like to say to any NT hierarchy who may read this is; there was a huge amount of fruit on the trees in the garden going to waste. PLEASE make good use of it, give it to a local charity or use it in the kitchen / cafe. It was such a shame to see huge amounts of fruit wasting away when it could be made use of.

翻译：这座美丽的房子隐藏在苏塞克斯郡的乡村，是传奇作家拉迪亚德·吉卜林的故居。这座迷宫般的房子里有很多值得一看的地方，巨大的花园和充足的停车位。我推荐您步行一小段路到庄园另一边的磨坊。
我确信我在这里遇到了吉卜林先生的鬼魂，但只是一瞬间。走上二楼的楼梯时，我注意到身后有人。转身的一瞬间，我看到一位穿着20世纪10年代到20年代服装的绅士。起初我以为是一位穿着那个时代服装的志愿者，然而，没过一会儿，那两位绅士就消失了。看着吉卜林先生的一幅肖像，我意识到我看到的那个“人”和他一模一样……！！！不管你怎么想。我确实问过几位志愿者，是否有人报告过有鬼魂出现。一个人说他们什么也没看到，但另一个人说他们听说过一些关于房子里有鬼的故事。
我很享受这次参观，因为房子和展品都很有趣，而且总的来说，导游都很棒。只有两个缺点，一是通往房子的路非常窄，如果你不幸遇到迎面而来的车辆，你就会被困住。此外，除了其他优秀的员工之外，唯一的例外是书房/商店里的那位先生。我们当时正在讨论音乐，他对我对瓦格纳《尼伯龙根指环》的品味进行了相当侮辱性的批评，甚至差点把我骂成极右派。如果我知道他的名字，我肯定会举报他，并把他的名字也报出来。话虽如此，但这还不足以毁掉这次精彩的参观。
我想对任何读到这篇文章的新约高层说一件事：花园里树上的大量水果都被浪费了。请好好利用这些水果，捐给当地的慈善机构，或者在厨房/咖啡馆里用。看到大量可以利用的水果被浪费掉，真是太可惜了。
