As we left Lacock on a recent adventure, Daddy P mentioned a flight of locks that we’d all seen on an engineering programme recently was probably near by.

We’d enjoyed our previous visit there, and arranged to meet an old friend and her little boy there last month, as…Continue reading Studley Grange #CountryKids
