OneTask Completed

Each year, it seems to take longer to complete my yearly diaries but glad to say I now have 2016 in my hand safely delivered from Blurb. For those who keep a Blog or have their images on FlikR or Facebook, consider putting them into a diary format as I do - it is great to look back. I have books going back to 2007.

Waddesdon Manor - Imaginarium

Imaginarium is a  light and sound show projected onto the Manor created by the Guildhall School. It is a visual representation of the story of Waddesdon and its owners' obsession with wildlife. It brought back fond memories of Miriam Rothschild in the Zoology Department in Cambridge.

Waddesdon Manor - An Enchanted Menagerie

 In the afternoon on Friday, we took a tour of the interior of the house, which has been decorated with an animal theme using some amazing constructions and coloured lighting. Barry is sporting a very trendy new fleece for the occasion and, as usual, I got captivated by the staircase which had very 'mixed' lighting sources no way of setting the white balance!

Exteriors and sunset at Waddesdon Manor

Yesterday 14 CCC members invaded Waddesdon Manor, National Trust for their Christmas lights show. We arrived in time for some shots of the exterior before lunch and our interior tour (images to follow). We were treated to a wonderful sunset before the floodlights came on in the trees.

Autumn in Cambridge

The beech trees in Cambridge looked their best in the morning sunshine yesterday. 

 

Welcome to Ted the New Member of the Household

Ted, the Golden Retriever pup,  has been with us for a week now and has settled in well. From his large paws, he is going to be a large dog but, so far, has a pretty placid nature even when played with by two small girls and hissed at by the large fluffy grey cat.  He is also happy to have his photo taken!
