A Grand Day Out

A lovely day spent with a former work colleague and good friend at Belton House near Grantham. The world and his wife appeared to have had the same idea as we queued to get in but there is plenty of space to be able to get away from everyone. We got our money's worth from our National Trust membership by doing the basement tour of the servant areas (with a guide who wasn't a big fan of Downton Abbey!), a really good look around the house which has some beautiful portraits and a wander around the gardens which are really well cared for. And the sun shone all day and the sky was blue - although not maybe in this shot.
