Where else but the kitchen fire on a very stormy morning.

Today we motored into the Coteswolds towards Tetbury and beyond to Newark Park, a small country house set high on a hillside overlooking its surrounding parkland and estate.
The house was originally a Tudor hunting lodge but enlarged in the eighteenth century.
It is interesting that an American guy lived there and was responsible for much of its restoration late in the last century. #nationaltrust

Brayn Court is well situated for a tour of the picturesque Wye Vally.
As thousands did in the eighteenth century starting in Ross on Wye and taking a boat down the river over a week or two to Chepstow, today you can drive the route calling in at all the places they did two hundred years ago in a day or a few days if you want to visit all the places of interest.
Many of our guests come specifically to do the tour.
Below are some of the places of interest that have not changed greatly in two hundred years.

The window to the Tudor bedroom is being restored and should be ready for our opening in March. All the lead needs replacing and and luckily only few pieces of glass most of which is eighteenth century.
Drop the Mop arrived today to clean the soft furnishings in the drawing room and I have now finished polishing the panelling.
