Just a quick review of our trip this Autumn. Our visits to National Trust properties during the last month would have cost us £263!! We have visited 12 properties. I think you can safely say we have had our monies worth from a membership that was effectively free as part of a Sunday Times newspaper offer.
Maybe I should apologise for taking you on a Vernon quest for holy grail. I haven't quite established a true link between myself and true nobility but we have unearthed some family connections of historical importance and have been to some memorable places in the quest. Key places have been Haddon Hall, Sudbury Hall, Hanbury Hall and not forgetting John Bishop living in my home at Whatcroft Hall.
Today we cycled into Chester for our last full day. The sun got out for us too.
We had a lovely lunch in La Petite France restaurant.
Then had a walk on the Walls where Janice had a little shock....
The man in costume was standing completely still as we walked past and completely spooked Janice when he moved.
Back to the van....our task was to eat up the food combinations that were left over. It wasn't too bad really as we had eaten most of our stocks but things have been quite desperate as we have run out of gin and whiskey! The only food to eat tonight is cheese and biscuits with cereal left over for tomorrow morning.
Ooo....nearly forgot to mention tonight's treat! We have bought a DVD for our entertainment. It is 'Eddie the Eagle' movie....we will enjoy, I'm sure!
We have been exceptionally lucky with the weather again, considering the time of year. Tomorrow will be a dash up the M6 and clean the van and put it to bed for the winter. Next trip Australia...not in the van!
Got home safely on Sunday.
