So, whether you have seen Jane Austen come to the screen, or not, then here is the actual place - enjoy
The fireplace in the entry hall

Just love those plate racks behind Christine
Orangery
So a beautiful and historical house.
With Covid we weren't able to go upstaires, so that means I have the excuse to return again soon! Most of the stately homes have problems with one way systems up and down staires. I think that over the "missing" year quite a few of the volunteers have disappeared.
I have ahd a couple of good days at work, although twisted my foot again yesterday, so that isn't so brilliant. I don't suppose it helps that in the afternoon I walked to the cemetery (and caught the bus home) to lay flowers on Mum's grave as it was the 6th anniversary of her being called Home.
When I got back I phoned Auntie Mary (Mum's best friend) and had an hour of laughs ... she is always fun to chat to.
So, I am missing a day -
29. What is one thing that you refuse to ever do in your lifetime?
Hold a tarantula (or in fact even go into an insect house in a zoo)
30. Which one of your friends is the most outgoing?
I would say on first contact, Toni, but she like me is good at covering true characters. So, Ceri who I work with is the person I would go with.
Now, I must get those icons finished before I turn off. I will try to catch up with you all later, but if not I promise I will tomorrow
