Handy map

An Aged Parent suggested that a map might be a handy addition to the Grand Tour, so here is a sort-of one based on the current (i.e. old) Google image. The extent of the grounds is what you'd expect from the boundaries on the image.

Yesterday, I went down to see the pollarders, as they were burning the brash. They and their dogs were very friendly. A perfect day for working outside. The stream had fallen about a foot. Today, Luke and I cut some posts to mark the tarmac drive, so the edges can be seen if and when it snows again, and heavy vehicles don't drive over and damage them. In the sunshine, the snow seems a long time ago now, and it's hard to believe it may happen again.
