We are now card carrying members of the National Trust which makes me ever so happy because now I can wander through the gardens and manor houses of 300 historic British estates. The first on the list was Ickworth where we stumbled upon the most elegant wedding party this past weekend.  This may have set the bar rather high for our daughters I think.  Not that they are even dating, mind you.  This was the sort of scene that plants all sorts of romantic ideas into a girl's head though.  So classically British, it was like a fairy tale. 

I am so looking forward to the weekends now. You know where you'll find me. : )
