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!
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!
Too cold for gardening so I resorted to baking on Friday...
and then knitting, using up some oddments left over from other projects.
Maybe next weekend it will be gardening as planned. There's a limit on how many pairs of gloves anyone needs!
