Mr C and I enjoyed a New Year’s day visit to Wightwick Manor. We arrived just in time for lunch and were pleased to see a hot turkey, stuffing and gravy roll on the menu. When our lunch arrived it was much larger than we had anticipated! After lunch we visited the house and gallery [...]

After a few last minute preparations for our New Years Eve guests there was just enough time for a quick walk before preparing the evening meal.
I left the route to Mr C, he chose ‘Wellington’ as a walk… After a while I realised he meant a walk ‘around Wellington’ not in the town, taking in [...]
