I have been busy with family, hospital visits, looking after 4 grandchildren etc., and have not had much me time. However I took the day off on Sunday and went to Hardwicke Hall in Derbyshire. I met a friend there and we had a superb lunch in the Inn on the Estate before looking round the house and gardens.


I can honestly say it did me the world of good, interesting place, fine food and good company what a lovely day out 


My batteries are now refreshed
