Valentine’s Trip to Berrington Park

February 16th, 2010 by Nigel 
On Valentine’s Day we took a trip into Herefordshire to visit a National Trust property that was new to us. It was one of ‘Capability’ Brown’s final landscapes, Berrington Park. It was our first visit to a National Trust property this year, we used our membership cards which were kindly renewed by Mr & Mrs Crawford Senior, as we made good use of it last year and hope to...

Back Up The Wall

After watch Si get up some of the climbs that I couldn’t manage...

We had 2 firsts today. We used our Christmas present from Mum & Dad Crawford, our National Trust membership cards. Jasmine played in muddy puddles wearing her wellies. We spent the afternoon at Hanbury Hall which is our closest National Trust property. It’s only part open at the weekends due to the time of year. We walked round the parts that were open and stopped off for coffee and cake...
