Sunny Buckinghamshire

Sleeping better here than we do at home - perhaps we are doing more here during the day!  Awoke to a beautiful sunny, warm day.

Later in the day we visited Waddesdon Manor - had good vibes from a previous visit a few years ago. Wow, how the organisation has changed - with many more people visiting there than we could remember. 
Side aspect of Waddesdon Manor. 

Anyone for a bite!
And the famous elephant in the room.
The Manor was built by the English Rothchild family to house it's massive art collection and to entertain their friends. Looking around the house makes one wonder why there was not a revolution against the inequality that seems so obvious. Still, an enjoyable visit. 
French writing table that folds down inside the body of the table. Very clever!
Cracked up about this light!!
Rothschild family outing!

Earlier we drove into Aylesbury to buy a few more items needed for the van - a foldaway camping table etc. 

Later we made our way into Great Missenden - the home of Roal Dahl. Spent the rest of the afternoon here in the sun and also stayed overnight.
