Hello everyone, hope your week is going well so far.
A couple of weekends ago, when we were enjoying glorious weather, DH and the 2 youngest Moonstruck team members and I went to visit Woolsthorpe Manor, the home of Sir Isaac Newton
This picture was taken from underneath the famous apple tree:
I have to say that it is one of the most enjoyable National Trust properties I have visited. It had such a lovely, homely feel and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, but not at all stuffy or precious. They even allowed a cat to sleep on the very rare and expensive bed in the main bedroom! No pics of the interior as they dont allow flash photography (fair enough as the artefacts are very old and precious). However, there is this lovely ancient orchard to walk around....
I love ancient trees and thinking about all the things they have witnessed...
The outbuildings house a very interesting collection of interactive scientific activities
A great place to visit, my 12 and 14 year olds loved it but younger and older folks would enjoy it as well.
We have annual membership of the NT and find it an economic way to visit lots of interesting places (there are 6 of us after all!!)
What has been your favourite summer day trip so far?
