In the palm of her hand

Well nearly! It appears Mum has Dad just where she wants him...

This shot was a total accident. Mum was being a bit mad (not like her at all, she's usually so sensible just like me bwahahahaha), so I snapped a pic. Hadn't realised Dad was sat on the bench behind.

Lovely day out at Mottisfont Abbey. Picnic, wine, wander round the gardens (LOTS of flower pics, but decided to blip this one instead as others do those so much better than I!), went into the house (declared not as impressive as Kedleston Hall by Mum, but she would say that as that's where she volunteers) then a walk by the riverside.

Rounded off the day with a meal and a few beers in the local. Toptastic.
