Over 20 of us met for coffee in the Mencap cafe. We’d hoped for sunshine and sitting outside but the weather was a little chilly. However, there was room inside for all of us. 

A good number of us set off walking, past the crocodile and into the Sensory garden. We looked at the very old seed drill and walked through to the other vineyard. Fiona told us a bit about the vines. In the meadow by the rose arch, Annie and Andrew gave us some information re the trees and Magnolias. From there we meandered through to the Willow sculptures and on to the Court. After looking at the remaining buildings, some of us walked to the 8 arch bridge and others back along the road, to meet up again for a very pleasant lunch!
