[Sundae]

I should go, shouldn't I?
Tickets are only £8.
I might see how generous Mum is feeling - there's a Christmas Carol evening on in said gardens on the 8th December.

You know I have never been to Waddesdon Manor.
Everyone I knew from that side of town (when I lived very near by in the village of Quainton) had already been. School trips and woth visiting Aunties and Grandmas and picnics ad nauseum. Ditto Claydon House. The 'rents have been to show other people around though.

Throw a stone round here and you hit a National Trust property. Or a setting for Morse or Midsomer Murders. We're so replete with the picturesque it makes us lazy.
