I trust that I am on the right path.
This Blythe doll is Sarah Shades. I made the signpost last year for a different picture.
Today we went to Polesden Lacey and I found a few more lone chairs to add to my National Trust chair project.
Looking down an avenue of trees the glasshouse at Clumber Park draws you in. It wasn't for me but Shirley was drawn to the display of 130 varieties of rhubarb.

Basildon Park is a country house situated 2 miles (3 kilometres) south of Goring-on-Thames and Streatley in Berkshire, between the villages of Upper Basildon and Lower Basildon. It is owned by the National Trust and is a Grade I listed building. The house was built between 1776 and 1783 for Sir Francis Sykes and designed by John Carr in the Palladian style at a time when Palladianism was giving way to the newly fashionable neoclassicism. Thus, the interiors are in a neoclassical "Adamesque" style.
Never fully completed, the house passed through a succession of owners. In 1910 it was standing empty and in 1914, it was requisitioned by the British Government as an army convalescent hospital. It was again sold in 1928 and quickly sold again. In 1929, following a failed attempt to dismantle and rebuild the house in the US, it was stripped of many of its fixtures and fittings and all but abandoned.
During World War II, the house was again requisitioned and served as a barracks, a training ground for tanks, and finally a prisoner of war camp—all activities unsuited to the preservation of an already semi-derelict building. In 1952, a time when hundreds of British country houses were being demolished, it was said of Basildon Park "to say it was derelict, is hardly good enough, no window was left intact and most were repaired with cardboard or plywood."[1]
Today, Basildon Park is as notable for its mid-twentieth-century renaissance and restoration, by Lord and Lady Iliffe, as it is for its architecture. In 1978, the Iliffes gave the house, together with its park and a large endowment for its upkeep, to the National Trust in the hope that "The National Trust will protect it and its park for future generations to enjoy.

Thursday we went to the Clergy House in Alfriston, Sussex, and snapped 4 chairs for my National Trust chairs project.
The property was the first to be purchased by the National Trust in 1896. Up until then, the NT had only acquired land for use by one and all.
National Trust. Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire.
An 18th-century (Grade I Listed Building) mansion with Adam interiors, colonial history and vast parkland. It was built by Sir Nathaniel Curzon, 1st Lord Scarsdale. He inherited Kedleston in 1758 and immediately knocked down the existing house to start again. The intention was it would rival Chatsworth.
It's the ancestral residence of the Curzon family. The Curzons came to Britain from Normandy at the time of William the Conqueror and they have been at Kedleston since the 1150s.
The house, parkland and most of the contents were given to the National Trust in 1987.
