If I lived there I'm not sure I would like to have people in all the time, even if they weren't in my precise living quarters, but it's fortunate that somehow this family doesn't mind (or needs the fees?)... I suppose one wouldn't need QUITE all that much room to live :)<br /><br />Those sheep are noisy little things, aren't they?!

I follow Lady Carnarvon's blog and she posts photos from inside the house all the time and she always has some interesting stories to tell. Your photos are great! I wish I could have tagged along.

Isn't it fun to be a tourist? <br />I am reading a book by Mark Helprin called Freddy and Fredericka and it is a thinly disguised and satiric novel about Prince Charles and Lady Diana. I am enjoying it tremendously. You might enjoy it. The British royalty is featured quite prominently. <br />Do you know I've never watched more than a few episodes of Downton? <br />I really do want to. I'm not sure why I haven't. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-7675278234224838352017-08-09T10:36:24.999+01:002017-08-09T10:36:24.999+01:00Sounds like a great day trip and it's good tha...Sounds like a great day trip and it's good that the weather was bearable.
