Some lovely photos, especially of Palmers Farm, and like you, my favourite rooms are always the kitchens and pantries!

I recall it well, and we also went to see Albert Finney perform with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford - he was just starting out in his acting career.<br /><br />Great animal pix, I could just cuddle that Cotswold sheep - t looks so clean and docile. Like you, I always enjoy looking around historic kitchens and trying to fathom just how they cooked anything with those awkward looking utensils. I always love the tables!<br /><br />Happy week dear - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32992882.post-48252555024239105642015-08-11T19:37:23.629+01:002015-08-11T19:37:23.629+01:00What a great day out!

I'm afraid it has to live in the shed. I must brave the spiders and check it is ok. Lynda (Granny K)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00769451312708886145noreply@blogger.com
