Nearby History

While we were at Beaulieu, Nan and Pop took the girls to Montacute House. Here, Violet is in front of the greenhouse. The girls enjoyed touring the house and gardens, and they all had a bite to eat there. 

On Tuesday, we went into Sherborne with Violet, as she has been much more interested in being out and about and seeing as much as possible. 

This listing at Sherborne Abbey of the bishops, starting in 918, was striking. 

I stopped in at The Abbey Pharmacy for dental cement because one of Cora's fillings broke, and now I want all my pharmacies to have been continually operating since 1790.

I had marveled a this spot in October when Stace and I were here for the Pack Monday fair, so I had to show it to Violet.
