Stonehenge
After our stay in Bath, we drove back east, to visit Gary and Janet. Not without stopping by Stonehenge, which was more or less on our route anyway. This makes two Unesco Word Heritage sites on one holiday!
Aunt Edith
When we arrived at Gary’s and Janet’s, we almost immediately prepared for a visit of Aunt Edith, now 95 years old. (My mothers aunt actually).
Reading
The next day: Reading here we come. Quite a lot has changed since last time I was here. For example, they have built the Oracle, a giant shopping center near the river Kenneth.
Basildon Park
That day we also visited Basildon Park. We didn’t have to pay, as we borrowed Gary and Janet’s friends National Trust passes. Nobody could have suspected we were tourists, not even when the lady inside the house shouted “No pictures inside please!” when I tried to take a photograph of the now immortalized staircase in the new version of Pride and Prejudice.
