Blickling Hall






Today we visited Blickling Hall, nr Norwich, Norfolk.

It is a most amazing building, and there are so many things there to see. It has a Tea Room and a Restaurant. A lovely shop, a Garden Shop and a Second Hand Book Store. There's a Garden, and an area where they grow plants and vegetables to sell.

The house itself is enormous. Apparently Anne Boleyn was born there, and every year since her death she has turned up at the house in a ghostly horse drawn carriage....on Halloween night.

Spooky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a lovely day looking round the house, again the children both had quizzes to complete, which they did very well, but we couldn't move on to the next room until they'd answered the question.

So...........until tomorrow.........

Hmmm, wonder if Anne Boleyn turns up with her head or without it?
Glad you are having a good time, and hope the weather is better where you are than it is here.
Love Sal xx
