I did not go with the riders some days so I visited Snowshill Manor near Stow on the Wold and can recommend it! Absolutely gorgeous garden and the house is crammed full of quirky antiqes.
The Stumpwork Casket is quite small and behind glass but managed to capture it well. The sampler is just gorgeous, there were only about 7 samplers.
On Thursday Jenny took me in her BSA 1930 "Basil" to Highnam Court Gardens, the gardens are not open to the public and by appointment only, all proceeds go to Charity.
We had such wonderful weather, 28 degrees Celsius (hot for the UK!) so time to assemble my Folk Art Sewing Roll and finished it on the 6th July.
