On a drizzly chilly Thursday afternoon, maytrees min, mrs maytrees and I decided to travel to the National Trust's Polesden Lacey at Great Bookham in Surrey.
Fortunately the weather improved as we reached the estate. Equally fortunately for us, the chill and rain had appeared to have put off many other visitors as the grounds were very quiet.
Following our stroll through the grounds, we entered the wing of the Polesden Lacey mansion where there was a second hand book shop. I purchased an almost new hardback Simply Lies by David Baldacci for £3. The new book price is £22 so a bargain for me.
Shortly afterwards the three of us entered the almost empty dining room. The ladies enjoyed tea and cake. i was hungry so selected some East Asian curry which was hot and delicious,
Afterwards, a brief visit to the NT shop then back to the car park, where as we entered we just missed a rainstorm.
