Pleasant visit

Was doing a bit of painting and my dad mentioned the idea of going for a visit. It was ages since we'd been to Cragside country house so off we went. I was feeling a bit nervous because I wasn't sure how my leg would hold up' I'll tell you about that soon. The disabled bays were a good way away from the house but they had a cool little bus service. When you go in it strikes you just how rich these people were. But Lord Armstrong was an engineering genius. A river runs through the grounds and he used it to power everything from electric lights to rotisserie. The kitchen is huge and there are more rooms than anyone coupled hope to use. There is also, as you will expect some beautiful art works. Ill come back with some photos when I sort out the camera...
