Cliveden

An NT-tastic visit to Cliveden - home of the Profumo affair and now a luxury £500 a night hotel. Mrs DP, Grandmama and Mrs DP's mum (Mama-in-law????) in tow. Counted only three Rolls-Royces, two Bentleys and two Ferraris in the car park - obviously the credit crunch is hitting.

Good news re. the G9 - the shop are sending me a new one because of the "extenuating" circumstances, and were apologetic that they had not been in touch for nearly two weeks. Hmmm. Looks like my classic line "I'm embroiled in a Watchdog-esque saga with the Canon Service Centre" may have at last done the trick. Watch this space....
