Excellent photos too.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-43242024063428140882011-08-19T18:24:30.325+01:002011-08-19T18:24:30.325+01:00Oh my goodness!

I was thrilled to see your photos of the inside of Wimpole Hall because when we visited in June this year, the Hall was closed so we just saw the gardens home farm.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404276749629719070.post-77256249618666401792011-08-19T03:39:25.962+01:002011-08-19T03:39:25.962+01:00Wow.
