This is the interior of the top floor of the East Banqueting House from yesterday's entry. It's all one big room, nicely furnished, but the real attraction of it is the views from all the windows, and the great wooden double doors on the right, which open directly onto the lawn.
You can also zoom in and play a frustrating game of "Spot the Humuhumu". Hint: she isn't next to the tablet, which was abandoned by Keiki when he went to hunt for an apple in the kitchen downstairs.

The last time we went to Croome, Humuhumu was a toddler and Keiki slept through the whole thing in his sling. The grounds are stunning - it’s a Capability Brown extravaganza, no expense was spared, not even that of moving an entire village to improve a view - and they loved it. I’m still kicking myself for not bringing the dSLR but comfort myself in the knowledge that we’ll definitely be back.

For our final walk of the year, we headed out very early this morning to Charlecote Park in Warwickshire. The park supports a large deer population and lots of other wildlife. We started in freezing fog and ended in sunshine with takeaway coffees, hot chocolates, and shortbreads, which was definitely the right way round according to the children.

Can't resist. One more from Puzzlewood. Tiny intrepid explorers, biiiiiig trees.
This photo gives you a bit more of an idea of what Puzzlewood in the Forest of Dean is like. It is magical.
We went to Stratford-upon-Avon today and outside the RSC theatre, two cheeky children found a chap in puffling pants.

The excavated Roman Baths in the English town of Bath showcase a fraction of its former magnificence, but still manage to be quite impressive.
There are people in period costume roaming around during visitor hours. Humuhumu didn't meet this one, but she did meet a chap called Peregrinus, who was a Gaul.
