Witley Court

Life has stepped up a gear in the last couple of weeks - with Debbie going back to work and Ben being at the childminder three days a week. We have also started leading a "Coaching Group" for some of the young people at church, with about fifteen 13 and 14 year-olds descending on our house every other Wednesday night from now on. We'll mostly be meeting as two separate groups, one for boys and one for girls, but we started off with everyone together this week for a social. Amazingly Ben slept soundly through their wild games - probably due to the Calpol.

Which all means we never put up a post from our visit to Witley Court in Worcestershire with Debbie's parents two weeks ago - on a sunny September Saturday. Witley Court was a very grand stately home which burnt down in the 1930s and has been preserved as a shell by English Heritage - and probably more interesting ("Romantic", in Debbie's eyes) for all that. Pat and Malcolm liked it so much they went back again the following week!
