Re: Ascension Day Picnic!
Does anyone remember going to Blenheim Palace - or did I imagine that?

Re: Ascension Day Picnic!
Would have been a bit of a long drive?

Brockett Hall between Hertford and Harpenden perhaps. Lord Brockett got sent down a few years agoJo wrote:I'm sure we went to Hatfield House at least once. We certainly went to Kenwood a couple of times. We also went somewhere one year about which I have one very clear memory, though I can't remember where it was, or anything else about it. It was a minor stately home or large mansion, and I don't know whether it was open to the public, or whether we had made a special arrangement to visit it. We'd been shown round, I think, and were then free to wander inside and outside for the rest of the day.
It's always intrigued me to this day that I haven't a clue where this place was but I remember the mystery of the trapdoor and our excited chatter afterwards about what the story might have been.

Re: Ascension Day Picnic!
I don't remember the outings particularly - Kim, I think we had an outing once to Waddesdon Manor, the Rothschild place but I don't know whether that was Ascension Day. The only kind of packed lunch I ever remember (and that is engraved on my memory) is the cheese and hairy mango sandwich one.
