I had forgotten about this charming grotto in the High Leigh grounds, on the way to the lake. I also saw a fox, and walked into Hoddesdon via Barclay Park. A very pleasant hour’s exercise!
Another short walk

A walk during my break
This afternoon we had a break of a couple of hours between sessions, so I went for a short walk to Barclay Park. This is Pulham Bridge.
I also found a small patch of woodland, and saw rabbits and a small furry creature running across my path.
There were some benches commemorating the first world war, which are new since last time.
Country Walk
A small, select band set off for a walk this morning. We went out along the railway, then back by the river. A dull but dry day, and a refreshing walk
And here is the train
My photos were terrible, so here is one taken by Nikki.
Train and boat
We got the Bure Valley Railway to Wroxham, then a boat trip on the Broads. A bit chilly, but enjoyable nonetheless.
There was a yacht race in progress.
The house
Today I have had time to take a photo of Hautbois House. Most of us went to Wroxham Barns, basically a retail opportunity, but some nice things.
Hautbois
After a slow but otherwise uneventful journey, we arrived at Hautbois House in time for introductions and supper. After some cheese and wine, we have settled down to a craft session.
Much happy chat and laughter.
I made a cat out of a flannel…
People’s History
Visited the People’s History museum. Need I say, I found it more interesting than Phil did… But there was this nice sculpture outside. Doves for peace and all that!
A day in York
Mooched around York for a while, then stopped off at Barley Hall. Interesting exhibitions, including various costumes from TV shows set in Tudor times.
Next, a lovely lunch and back to Lucy’s for supper.
We stop for a cuppa
After an excellent lunch, some shopping and a brief visit to the museum, we needed a rest. Sadly we had lost track of the time and the museum tea shop was shut, so we went to Second Cup.
Via M&S for some supplies before returning to Gemma’s for supper.
Sorry about the terrible photo.
