I only just found about this, but thought I'd mention it anyway just in case any of you had nothing planned for tomorrow, and fancied taking advantage of it. Smile  

"As part of Heritage Open Days this year, the National Trust will be opening over 300 of its properties for free on Saturday 13 September. Across England, Northern Ireland and Wales there will be opportunities to see conservation in action, learn about traditional skills and take behind-the-scenes tours or view rooms not usually open to the public. "

You would have loved it where I was today Diana, the Derbyshire peak district. I deliberately drove home that way from Cheshire.....I love the scenery and the little roads. The weather could have been better, but it was still a great drive.
