Saturday

 Good morning.  Well, here I am in my new room and it is lovely.  On the fourth floor - but there are lifts - and the view over the park is amazing - see.  Photos taken different ways from the bay window.





And this is the room.

This is up a couple of steps, a low sort of gallery affair.
You can see the steps to the first photo bottom right.
Beyond the sleeping area there's a very nice bathroom and various storage units - much more storage that the previous room, in fact much more room, full stop, except for ceiling height.  This room was originally part of the attics - the servants quarters, I guess.  No complaints.

If/when I come back, I now know what to ask for by way of rooms.

So, my last day here is full of activities.  Having learnt from earlier in the week and because I was booked in before lunch, I decided straight away what I wanted to do and got it booked.
I'm going to the quiz followed by a 'midday stroll' around the grounds.  Then, after lunch, I got a place on the line dance workshop, the one I was too late for earlier in the week.  Finally, there's a cocktail demo, a bit like the cookery demo, I expect.

Once I've worked my way through that, I want to get most of my stuff down and into the car, leaving just bed things and clean clothes.  And the laptop, of course.

In the evening, I think I will stick with the easy listening entertainment in the Great Hall

  1. What a nice room, and so much space. I like the Virginia Creeper on the wall to the right of your room, they're such a lovely colour this time of year.

    I did manage to get another hour of sleep, thanks. XX

    1. It's very nice although you can tell where things have been pared back somewhat, partly because of Covid rules and partly because of the economic difficulties created by c-19. Not having come here before, it doesn't bother me.

    1. It's great, isn't it? The cross country started a while ago and I think I will pop down and see it closer up before it's time for the quiz.

  4. Oooh, that's a lovely room and the view is wonderful. Enjoy the line dancing ... is this possibly something you'll continue when you get home? Good luck in the quiz.

    1. I haven't done all that well in the quiz, mainly because I don't manage to hear all the questions. In the feedback I am going to suggest they have them shown on the screen while they are being read out. I bet they don't but at least I will have said.
      I don't think line dancing is a permitted activity right now, sadly. But I do find it fun.
