VISIT TO CHARTWELL, Sunday 23 May 2010 Family home and garden of
Sir Winston Churchill.
Chartwell delighted us with its amazing
history of Sir Winston Churchill, his political life, his private studio and of course the vegetable garden. To top it all,
we had wonderful weather. Our arrival
we were met by the NT representative, giving us a brief background to the House and Gardens. Then it was to the House to experience
the life and times of Sir Winston Churchill.
After lunch, it was to the Gardens, the vegetable gardens and of course
the studio, where Sir Winston painted stills. It being a hot day, the 3pm departure time arrived none too soon, we left for home, and fortunately with the motorway
being accident-free, we arrived at about 4:30pm.
Where to next? Perhaps next
time we can plan a walk to Kensington
Roof Gardens, or how about a Christmas Wisley trip, or a day trip to Brighton??
Please contact us with your ideas.
