We had to go to Sheffield for Tony to collect a bike, thank goodness he's at last decided to slow down when it comes to cycling, he's always dashed about at break neck speed, but at last the racing bike has gone and he's got himself a'trundling about bike'- for long bike trips.
We made a day of it, and headed for Hardwick Hall. It really is the jewel in the crown of the National Trust ( apart from Powis of course) It was a wonderful day, and the cakes- delicious!
