Visit to Cam - Andy and Maggie's

Bank holiday weekend - so the weather is up to its usual tricks. Look at our walking gear and you can see what the weather holds for us. It was even worse the following day. Anyway you can't blame the hosts!
Here we are on a walk up on Stinchcombe Hill. Despite the weather we could see for miles.


Cheese? I don't like the b****y stuff.


On Sunday we went to Woodchester Mansion.
The present, incomplete Mansion at Woodchester Park replaced a Georgian country house called Spring Park, which was first built at the beginning of the 17th century and named for the many springs in the valley. It was put up for sale by the Earl of Ducie in 1844.
Since the mansion is incomplete it is very cold inside. We had an excellent tour guide who took us to all four floors.
There was even a 'batman'. There is a colony of bats and he monitors them using CCTV. Didn't see any Robins though.



On the upper floors the ceiling construction can be seen for the floor below.



Monday morning saw us dismantling Andy and Maggie's greenhouse for transportation to a friend's.



We were all rewarded with a BBQ cooked on the new Outback BBQ.


Sue and I had a great weekend. We were well fed and watered!
