Needed some distraction from the fact that my sister's visit had come and gone, so while we still had the rental car, we took it to a nearby National Trust site / stately home called "Ickworth." The sheep were aplenty and gardens impressive, so there was something for everyone. I sound like a broken record here, but I am dying to blog about my parents' visit and our France half-term holiday so I need to catch up to keep things chronologically sound.
Hope all is well and that our American friends are family are keeping cool while we continue to wait for summer to set in in England! (It's in the 60s and cloudy as I write!)
