When Brenda arranged to visit I had hoped she could stay another day, but it was not to be. As Claire had swapped things around so that we could all go out, we kept thhe trip anyway.
We went to Agatha Christie's home Greenway in Torquay. The house was Georgian (my favourite type of property), although the original house was built in Tudor times. She bought the house in 1938.
We didn't have great weather, so spent the whole time in the house, and left the gardens for another visit.
Painting of Agatha as a child ... with the doll on the seat below.
Tobacco jar
Max, her second husband was anarchiologist and he preferred sleeping on his camp bed, even when in England.
One piece of the original Tudor decoaration
Love the handles on these cups
A posh loo!
First editions of all her books
Photo of them in the front garden at Greenway.
Having fun with my camera ... using a full-length mirror.
The frieze was painted by the US Coastguard who were based here during WWII. The images go round the room showing the journey of the 10th flotilla.
