Audley End
 |
| On one of the few days of summer, Ben and I went to Audley End. We went by bus from Cambridge to Saffron Walden - it takes an hour, winding through several very attractive villages and countryside - from where we walked to Audley End. No photography allowed in the house unfortunately. |
 |
| A magnificent display of potted plants in one of the greenhouses in the kitchen garden. |
 |
| A real radiator - in the coach house of all places! |
Roman bread
 |
| We went to the Pompeii exhibition at the British Museum. Lots of fascinating things including some carbonised Roman loaves. No photography allowed so when I got home I made my own - not too carbonised though! |
