Trip to Blickling Hall .................

[chenrezig]

Wendy and I went to Blicking Hall yesterday .. here are some of the pics we took while there

A beautiful old place ... built in 1624. at a cost of "only" £8000".



We had a look in the bookshop first, only problem there was where to start - hundreds of books of all shapes and sizes and subjects



Then a look at the plants for sale ..



Then it was dinner in the restaurant there -we both had a really lovely roast dinner  ...

Then Wendy went for a walk back to the car while i had a very quick look round the exhibition on RAF Oulton - the halls and grounds were billets for aircrew from the base during WW2 -I spotted this lovely RAF knitted doll that ahd been presented to the Museum by someone who relatives had been based there (if anyone knows where I could get the pattern I would love to know as my Grandad was in the RAF in WW2 and I would like to knit one).



It was really lovely day out, so hot and sunny and very quick to get to ...

This last one is a pic I got of the Halls grounds from the RAF Museum ..
