I hope you had a pleasant Saturday. We needed to go off and do something other than what we usually do and so we went to a place called the Grange not too far from here. It's a grand old (17th century) building with Greek pillars and all but you won't get a good look at it because I generally find buildings boring and this one especially, so no photos. Besides, there were far more interesting things surrounding it. Tonight there is an opera performance so all over the grounds were party tents for groups of five to sip champagne in the interval.
Beyond the immaculate lawns a phone booth was standing in the barley - the British are funny like that.
After the Grange we went to Abbotstone Down, a wood with footpaths and open meadows, where we had lunch in the grass.
The best part of the day was getting here and there though - riding on the back of D's vespa. I love zipping along the lanes and watching the fields and woods fly by, feeling the warm breeze and the movement.
