A glorious day, warm and sunny all day.
Day spent with Janet and Colin at the Tulip and Flower Festival at Stonor House. A big disappointment but after paying our £52 entrance fee we decided to forget the cost and just enjoy the day. No entrance fee was mentioned on any of the press adverts and indeed nor on the flyers so assumed perhaps a modest £5 each approximately of course.
What a complete let down, the tulip and flower festival was in fact a few vases with flower displays in a few of the rooms. Trade descriptions or what?
Pictures are of Stonor House and grounds.

I was also banned from taking photographs which I found extraordinary. On questioning them on why not I was told because it is a private house. Why let us in then....
We left late afternoon after actually enjoying a good walk around the grounds of Stonor.
Thought we would eat at the Highwayman, have eaten there regularly, with the family connection it is a pub we will continue to support, however not good today as now not an all day eatery.
Plan B was the Pack Horse so at long last we could relax and discuss our disappointing day out at Stonor.
