A daytrip on the doorstep.

Today we have used our National trust membership card again and have visited a place right on our doorstep....Shugborough Hall.
Although it's only 10 mins away from where we live Mark had never been and I hadn't been since junior school........too many years ago to remember.
Jonathan was keen to show us round and tell us a few facts as he had been not long ago from school and enjoyed it.
It wasn't too bad but we both thought it a bit run down and nothing at all like it's very glamorous photograph here.
The late Lord Lichfield, the queen's cousin, who lived there had a great exhibition of some of his famous photography which i found interesting other than that it was a trifle boring, extremely expensive- we had to pay £3 to park and £15 on top of our membership to upgrade to access all areas- we chose not to bother- and full of rich old bags who would practically elbow you out of the way to get infront of you!
Do you think i should apply to the National Trust to be one of their critics?
