In honour of National Heritage Week, resident Cathy Wright (87) visited a local National Trust site today. We visited Washington Old Hall circa 1700. A magnificent building set in beautiful gardens. With direct connections to former President of the USA George Washington.
Cathy couldn't believe how old the building was and loved looking around it. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind so we didn't get to see the gardens in all their splendour. But Cathy, always up for an adventure, did manage to climb the beautiful, solid oak staircase. Even though the newel post was bigger than her !!!
We went to another old building for lunch, The Forge, and enjoyed a splendid helping of fish and chips in front of a roaring, real fire.
Cathy enjoyed our little trip and is looking forward to our next mini adventure.
