Julie and Sean came down to visit today. What with one thing and another, it’s been a long time since we saw each other, so was nice to get together.
We first went out to our local Sunday carvery, The Ely which we’ve been to before (and was nice, albeit standard meal), then onto The Vyne, whch is a National Trust house and gardens.
Despite the weather being intermittent light rain, we managed to dodge the worst of it whilst walking around the walled garden and house, and even managed to squeeze in a cake stop inside the restaurant to escape the drab weather.
Julie got excited to see the chickens and managed to buy some plants in the shop.
It must be a family trait, as Julie also insisted on having an ice cream before we left, as we didn’t have a pudding with lunch (I didn’t object to strongly 
On the way home, the rain started in earnest, so timed it just right !
Next time, we’ll have to make a day of it as didn’t get a chance to go round the gardens very much (and maybe try to go on a sunny day) but in any case a lovely trip out and interesting to see the house and some of the grounds.
