National Trust visit

Booked an entrance slot for Speke Hall and enjoyed a walk around the grounds before having my picnic lunch at the car.
The photo is of the back of Speke Hall.
After my lunch I went for 5 geocaches between Speke and Hale but only found 1.
Last of all I went to Dobbies Garden Centre for a plant trough, which I bought, but also 2 plants - £43!
The queue in Dobbies was ridiculous and puts me off going again - as do the prices.
