Shy maiden

Had some friends over for the weekend. They live in London so were quite impressed when we had a power cut for 45 minutes on Saturday night - some thing you don't get in the big city! After a scrabble for candles we played charades until the power came back on. Today a visit to Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire, which has beautiful gardens to walk round, but unfortunately, the house is privately occupied so off limits to the likes of us.
