On Sunday afternoon we went to the nearby Attingham Park for its "Victorian Christmas". This was the first time we've been inside the house (or mansion), and although we didn't see too many Victorian Christmas-like objects or decorations, the house was still beautifully decorated and restored. Oh, and the volunteers working in each room were
more than happy to not only answer our questions, but tell us everything they know... they like to talk!
Week 26 Bump
In the picture gallery. The choir were warming up in the back of the room.

The kitchen was completely decked out with Christmasy goodies, and the scent of mince pies was noticeable when we entered.
Did you know that the yeast extract spread Marmite got its name from the from the French word "marmite", which is a a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot... such as the one just behind the pie? You never know what you might learn during an afternoon out.
