We finally made it after thirty years...

It's been a long wait but, after thirty years of telling ourselves we ought to make the effort, we finally made it to the Weald and Downland Museum in West Sussex.

Our thanks go to Lucy Worsley's BBC TV series If walls could talk which explores the intimate history of our homes. Aspects of domestic life, and the development of our homes, were filmed at the museum and it was watching the series last year that firmed-up our resolve that this year we should visit. Mission accomplished!

Although we could have driven there and back in a day, we opted for an overnight stay at a local B&B, The Old Post Office in Singleton (which itself was a delight) in order to make the most of our day at the museum.

If you haven't yet visited the museum, we would heartily recommend a day there - but probably best not to leave it another thirty years before going!
