Thank you all so much for my birthday wishes! Yes I am older and none the wiser but happier to have such lovely bloggie friends!
So what did I do? Well yesterday I recuperated from sunburn because on Saturday I decided to visit Audley End House - a stately Jacobean home built around the 17th century and fully restored along with its gardens and stables.
Unfortunately without a car and a very long queue for taxis at Audley End rail station, I resorted to walking the 1 and 3 quarters mile to the house.
Here is the helpful sign for those going by car.
I took this photo standing on the pavement earmarked specially for those walking to the house.
Yes the footpath was along this busy road!
But look what greeted me after 40 minutes walking in 30 degree centigrade heat.
Was it worth it? OH YES!
Charlie says: I hope you stopped frequently to roll around like so!
Have a sunscreen Monday everyone!
