I am doing a catch up of blog posts this morning. This is our day at Waddesdon Manor, Sunday of last weekend. A stunning Loire Valley style chateaux built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1883. It was a house made for serious parties, Great Gatsby style. Stunning gardens. I think we need to go back for a second visit ... after looking at the website again now I can see that we missed a fair bit. We have learnt that it pays to go easy on the historical aspects of outings like this - the kids can only tolerate so many hours of audio guide, Gainsborough's and French Tapestries ... and did I mention the National Trust volunteers guarding every square inch of these properties. Boy are they stern (read cranky) and sticklers for the rules. Heaven help you if exit for the loo without a return pass! Hysterical, really.
