Early this morning it was frosty and misty, but as Chris had an Hospital appointment we thought we would make the most of the day and head to the National Trust property at Stowe as soon as he was finished. What a treat the buggie that takes you down to the main area was driven my a friendly chap who took us right down to the lake. It is a long walk and too much for me. We walked around the lake and enjoyed the sights, while children were on a Pumpkin hunt.

A final hot chocolate in the cafe, we headed for home stopping at the Queen Eleanor Pub for lunch.
Days do not get much better than this.
