We braved the rain today and visited
Anglesey Abby, a Jacobean house owned by the National Trust. It has impeccably maintained gardens, and although the interior is a bit fusty and grandma-ish, the library is pretty impressive.

| the books look good, but most of them I wouldn't want to read - A History of Eton and loads of Punch annuals |
The grounds were the best bit, though it was too wet to go round all of it and parts of it are still a bit dead.

| The silver birch reminded me of a Weirwood in A Song of Ice and Fire |
We finished up our visit with a cup of tea. The cafe isn't the best, it has no character and looks like a school canteen. Never mind, more importantly the sandwiches were tasty and they had a good selection of gluten-free cake.
