Barrels en route...

Set orf as per schedule this morning, only forgot the big map book (which I do do do like to refer to!) and butter....there's always something I forget! 
A stop off en route at Stowe, National Trust...where Chino jumped in the lake.......oh he can swim then lol!  Cooled him off anyways :) 
A treat of a place and yet another reminder why it's so good to be a member of the NT :) 
On to our holiday cottage in Bramber, Sussex, dodged the M25 but it's not easy traffic wise in any direction around these parts it seems.  The cottage is adorably quirky, with a bedroom with patio doors that opens on to a beautifully rose adorned garden....and what do you know, there's a pub directly across the road!
Tomorrow I look forward to very much.... an afternoon of photography in a flower field, with other like minded folk, under the guidance of Emma Davies - nice, very nice :)
