Roast dinner and a roofless house!

A beautiful and sunny spring today in the UK.  Still a bit chilly but the sunshine has been stunning.

Today’s travels took us from a Glorius hot chocolate (with all the bits and bobs) in the village of Oundle, to Lyveden New Bield to see the roofless house built by Sir Thomas Treasham in the 1600’s.

Unfortunately Sir Thomas died with large debts and left no money behind so the house was never finished or lived in.  His son Francis Tresham was then caught up in the gunpowder plot with Guy Fawkes and Robert Catsley so he wasn’t around much longer to continue his fathers legacy.

The skeleton of the house has sat in the Northamptonshire countryside for over 400 years, but you can see by the graffiti, it’s attracted many visitors in that time.

From there we headed out for a Sunday Roast Dinner with aunty Angela and uncle Richard.  Needless to say we are full to the brim from roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding . . . I may need to buy an extra seat for the plane ride home!!
