Day 62 (8/28/16)

We had real bacon (known as crispy bacon or streaky bacon here in the UK), eggs, and homemade biscuits for breakfast. Biscuits are easier to make than I thought.

Then we headed to Saltram to tour the house.  It is an amazing historic home complete with art work, furniture, books, etc. When the family left it to the National Trust in the 1950's they agreed to leave it furnished. Many items in the house are over 200 years old. It is absolutely amazing. The last family member to live in the house was there until 1999.
So much detail in everything, including the ceilings.
Gorgeous chandler. Wish I could
see it in the evening lit with candles.

Love all the different stones on this table.
Ornate wallpaper in a bedroom.





Beautiful dining room ready for a feast.


















Afterwards we took the kids to Jump to burn some energy, since they couldn't run around the gardens at Saltram because of the rain.
