It was a very misty day when we visited the Gunby Estate. That didn’t stop us enjoying the beautiful gardens, and interesting house. The volunteers in this property were exceptionally friendly, informative and enthusiastic, which added to the experience.

We took a walk round the estate too, visiting two churches and the remains of the previous manor. Well, the remains of the moats around the previous manor. None of the building has survived. That would have been four miles, except *somebody* lost the hat she’d borrowed from her husband and they had to retrace some of their steps. It was found just outside the little book exchange in an old telephone box which she couldn’t resist visiting.

After that, we felt coffee and cake was requited. Don’t woryy, were weren’t given stingy portions – we generally share all cakes, so we can try twice as many and still fit into our hiking trousers.
