Ickworth & Finchingfield

Am up in Essex with Pete this weekend....the forecast was for heavy rain most of the day.  After a visit to a couple of rather nice shops.. we're talking cameras and wine here :), off we went to Ickworth

First port of call, for a Mocha and a Toffee Apple scone... with Massimo, Flynn, Frank and Fergus

The house is now closed but the basement and servants quarters are still open.

There was a very fast moving mouse running round here... a live one rather than a Massimo as above

And then off to Finchingfield.. where we had a cuppa and a sandwich in a very good Tea Room!!

The sun was shining by the time we were on our way home... but at least the rain wasn't as bad as feared!!
