Waddesdon

Last Friday we drove up to Waddesdon to see Cedric's aunt, and take her to the nearby Waddesdon Manor. She lives in a delightful house with gardens. It was a fine day so we had lunch at the Manor, and got timed tickets to visit the house. There were several visitors but not too busy. The wallpapers in many rooms were dark reds and blues, and light levels were kept low to preserve the fabrics. Guides in each room were friendly and knowledgeable so that we found out much about the Rothschild family.
















The Manor has a splendid fountain and formal flowerbeds.
