The National Trust has become a corporate body and is currently promoting family friendly, gay inclusiveness and corporate bland food in their restaurants rather than celebrating the individualities of their properties under their care.

Due to the wedding distractions I forgot to look closely at the medieval floor tiles which were one of the reasons I wanted to visit the church after reading about them in Muchelney Abbey. We had amazing luck with the weather. I think we were in the one and only spot in England that was sunny that week! I have some pictures of the spectacular church roof.

Sometimes Mr C is reluctant to go with my ideas but I know he will like them, which is why I choose them :-) I often have elderflower presse as a refreshing non-alcoholic drink when I am out for lunch. I have not hear of elderflower wine but I am guessing the taste is quite delicate. For a number of years my dad used to make wine, the best being 'gorse wine' It was quite awful to pick the flowers due to the thorns. I hope you have a wonderful weekend too :-) Thank you Astrid :-)

Did you spot the roof in the church? It had some medieval floor tiles from the abbey, too, I think. AND it looks like you got luck with the weather. Excellent photos, CP.
