Monte Cristo


Monte Cristo is a late Victorian mansion built by Christopher Crawley a local landowner and hotelier who did very well out of the arrival of the railway. Today it has been carefully restored by the Ryan family.

We arrived the same time as the Citroen club so also had the pleasure of looking at the beautifully restored vehicles. I'll show you more of the house in my next post. I am going to post daily for a while.

Windy August

Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale.  Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
