Hallow-e'en

My second-best pumpkin weighed in at 5kg.  The best one was 19kg but throughly beaten by the Brighton team!





Sorry, only one witch made it to Cambridge.  The other two got delayed in Scotland.

Meet Elizabeth Bennett

A knitted dolly - great fun to make!


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!
