Daughter offered to Granny sit last week so we took her up on it and escaped.  Unfortunately, the weather wasn't actually doing us any favours, cold wet rain most of the time, so we went here.   I must admit the interior of the house wasn't a total success with us, there's so much to see and even with timed entry it was crowded and hot - so a bit claustrophobic and difficult to concentrate.  Outside, however, is lovely, only marred by the rotten weather on the day we went.








I'm afraid I rushed out without the decent camera so these are off my phone. The lovely tones of the Cotswold stone aren't brought out so well by the grey day but it would spectacular in the sunshine.  There were lots of nice things in the shop, but H wasn't in browsing mood so I didn't spend anything!

The Spring garden show is on at the Three Counties showground at the moment but I can't go this year - can see the carpark which is absolutely packed from first thing.   There's a Quilt show on Thursday until Sunday so I might manage that as a friend is coming up from Cardiff - depends how other things pan out this week.  Lots of things going on here but not for blogging about.  We struggle on ......

Quilt UK update

Just to say that the Quilt UK show has been vastly improved: in case anyone was deterred by my earlier post.  They've added a marquee to the Severn Hall which has doubled the space and makes it less hot and crowded.  There's also much more catering choice on offer and it's now on the edges of the show so queues for one aren't blocking the other.  Vast quantities of fabric on sale and just about every tool accessory you can think of - and some you didn't know existed.  Also a lovely display of quilts made for the various competitions.

Quilt alert

For anyone interested, there's a Quilt UK show at the Three Counties Showground next week, starting May 13th .  There's plenty of easy parking but there can be long queues for food and drink.  Can't get at the website for the actual show but last time there were lots of stalls and bargains and it was very busy.  Don't know how much the entry fee is, but you get the view of the Malvern Hills for free.
