On Sunday 9th March seven members from Warwickshire and Derbyshire visited Sudbury Hall and Childhood Museum, and spent some time in the gardens there.
Many of the members could remember playing with a variety of the toys in their own childhood, and there were toys that they had bought for their own children.
In the house there was a beautiful painting that was actually painted directly onto the wall with a fake frame put around it to make it look like a picture. With the warm and sunny weather they also had a perfect weekend weather wise which was a bonus.
On Saturday 8th March two members visited the Steam Spectacular at Statfold. Most of the trains were either running along the track, or were static and in steam.
In February Lorraine visited Hanbury Hall in Worcestershire. Although it is very small compared to some properties it is still very interesting. The gardeners were looking after the gardens very well and all frost intolerant plants were covered.
