This was the first of our extra WI outings. Gill, Caroline and I turned up on a most glorious Saturday morning.
First stop was of course a cup of coffee and a gossip .Surely not I hear you cry!!
Then it was down to business. We leisurely wandered around the beautiful house at Scotney. When we wanted to listen, a National Trust Guide informed us about points of interest or historical facts. There were also really clear information sheets to read. No one hurried you along and we realised we had spent nearly an hour and a half in the house. Flushed by our success, we walked in the sunshine through some of the well maintained gardens and woodland areas to visit the old Scotney Castle. Stunningly beautiful. What a great way to spend 4 hours.
FOOTNOTE:
Before we went home we decided to have lunch, another gossip and a look around the gift shop.
