Petworth Again

We had a Friday dinner date near Coventry with Dave and Marian, friends from our 2017 south African campaign. Driving across London was out of the question, of course, for any number of reasons, so we elected to bypass the Great City by way of the south and west. We also needed to stop at a National Trust property to buy our 2019-20 Royal Oak memberships. Petworth House was on our way, and a brief stop there to look at the Turners and other paintings (for the third time) would get us to the membership office. It would also give me a little respite on my first day of driving here.

A bit of the great house

Nice copy of a Bosch

Nice Claude, one of Turner's heroes

Too many boats, as Vicki always says

Courtyard between the house and the service building

Nearly everything in bloom, another beautiful day

I was going to walk around to the front to get a proper picture, but was defeated
by Culpability Brown's ha-ha; made me feel sheepish

The rhodos clearly bloomed on time (early) this year

Hopefully we'll see them next spring
