The grounds. Audrey was keen to find some horses, which we did. I think by this time we're all worn out, so pictures are a bit thin on the ground. But we did get these carriages. Martin and Arthur particularly wanted a picture with the sheep.




I'll finish with a picture of the sort of clouds we've been seeing fairly regularly, some ubiquitous statue shots, and our Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich.
