Coughton Court

Reading time: < 1 minute...

We drove to Ian and Ann’s for lunch today. The weather had been a bit mixed but we were lucky enough to eat outside. Alice was there and later, Dermot and Caroline arrived complete with the twins.

After lunch, the four of us took the short drive to National Trust’s Coughton Court, about a 10 mile drive away. The heaven’s opened just as we got there, so we made a dash for the House from the waterlogged car-park and the 3.15 timed tour. What a fascinating place! Home of the Throckmorton family since 1409, it had a interesting and well-preserved house as well as gardens too! In spite of the atrocious weather, it was well-worth the trip.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!

I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
