Manor House Revisited & Booky Temptations

 Today (Monday) was the first mild, dry day that we have had for ages, so it was a 'no brainer' to take the opportunity to revisit Wightwick Manor using our free entry voucher pinned on our cork board in the study.  It's not far away, maybe a 20 minute drive.  The house, owned by The National Trust, contains a lot of William Morris designs and fits in quite nicely with the book I'm reading at the moment in which Sophy Winter inherits a run down Manor house from her Grandfather.....

   
The author of the book, Trisha Ashley, has worked for the Trust in the past and writes with such knowledge and enthusiasm that I've been drawn right in for the second time of reading it.

Wightwick Manor sells second hand books to raise funds and when I spotted this....



......I couldn't resist having a browse....



I didn't buy any books this time though as common sense prevailed.  I already have 3 books sitting unread on my shelf and I have more on their way to me from a bloggy friend .  In addition,  I have 3 reserved for me from the library,  although there is quite a queue for them still. but I really dont need to buy more. Do I??

____________

Tomorrow morning it is library Tuesday with free coffee and biscuits 😋 and I will have a browse too.  We also have an adventure planned for the afternoon 😀 More details tomorrow!

Thanks for popping in.  Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be, 

Angie ❤️
