43 Today and off to Godolphin House

I have wanted to go here all year.  The house is only opened on very short time slots, over about 3 weeks throughout the year, but happily, it’s the last day of the year that it will be opened today,and it fell on my Birthday!  Yay, todays day trip is sorted!

The rooms have been restored to an amazing level of craftsmanship, and flow beautifully.  The volunteers on site told us that it was actually available to hire on the weeks that it wasn’t open to the public!

It was a lovely few hours, finished off with carrot and coriander soup and a roll, sat at the picnic tables in the grounds.

Having got back in the car we headed home stopping off so I could buy some cakes on the way back, and then headed on to eat them with a nice cuppa.

What a great birthday, spent with the best of friends!

  2. Its between 2 and 3 grand, but thats split between 12 people, so not terrible in the grand scheme of things if its a special occasion like a hen/stag weekend or wedding
