On Sunday, it was Father’s day so we took my Father-in-Law to Harvington Hall, a moated manor house with the largest surviving series of priest holes in the country. The weather was kind to us, the day was gloriously hot and sunny and a good time was had by all. When we arrived we had [...]

Colwall – Day Five
When we arrived at breakfast we noticed a new gentleman that seemed to be in charge of the dining room. The breakfast area was calm and efficient with none of the chaos we had experienced over the previous few days. The tea was perfect, two individual pots with just the right amount of teabags.

Colwall – Day Four
At breakfast we were served with the first proper cup of tea of the weekend. Two individual pots of tea that were brewed to perfection.
Rain was forecast for the day so we headed of to Croome Court, a National Trust property. As we are National Trust members, entrance was free so it didn’t matter if [...]

Colwall – Day One
We set off on our journey a little later than intended and stopped off a cup of tea in a local farm shop before continuing on our journey. The SatNav took us on a completely different route (via Kidderminster and not through the Herefordshire countryside) than it did on our previous visit to Colwall.
This enabled [...]

Patio Days
This evening was the first time we were able to take advantage of fine weather and dine on the patio. We were accompanied by birds singing sweetly to each other. After we had finished our meal we lingered a while and were treated to a flitting dance of ‘our bat’ as he caught insects as [...]
