Day Off = Day Out

Yes, I had a day off work yesterday.  The clinics are running OK, but both physiologists had to be off work due to other things, so I organised to meet Christine and re-visit another National Trust property.  I had originally planned to meet up with Brenda, but she and Nick were visiting Auntie Joyce, so a day out seemed a good plan!

We had a great time - a lovely old house, some great walks ... but the choice of hot food was a sausage roll or a curried cauliflower pasty.  So, it was a sausage roll.  When we had afternoon tea it was a choice of about 4 different chocolate bars!  Not impressed, but at least there was something to eat, so not healthy, but I didn't starve!  Christine pays for the food, as her entrance is covered on my lifetime membership and I do the driving; so long journey, short journey, we both hope it balances up at the end of the year!

So, I have photos to share ... or I will when I have sorted them out!

I have already done some housework today, and this afternoon I am going to the supermarket to re-stock the freezer.  Over the last couple of months I have slowly emptied and sorted out the storage, so time to re-stock.

Right, photos are calling, but will finish this with -



28. Do you add unnecessary letters to the end of words?
Not at the end, but I am an Essex girl and we add letters in the middle of words ... for example, I lived near Romford, but I would call it Rompford, etc

29. What was the last thing you used your phone for, besides calling/texting?
Ummm nothing - that's all I use my phone for

And, Here Be Photos

As I have already posted, yesterday Christine & I went to visit Lytes Carey ... we chose well as it closes this weekend for the winter. So good timing and a great trip. And, we managed to avoid the rain until we were driving home.

Enjoy

And, as you can see, on top to the house is (was) a carving of a swan)



The topiary are nicknamed the 12 apostles



















In the gardens, there is still some Autumn colour -




And, the attached chapel



And, on our walks







A fun day
