Ducks Patch

 Claydon house is another NT The house was not as much as expected First we found the chapel The one was here before the House Inside the church was set up as if it was the  service to start the next day in 1800's  Even the Bible was an old one. As for the hosue, No photos allowed in the house was a disappointment.

 We were off, again. This time to Ascot House. Home of the Rothchilds Even the Gardens were in need of water. Summer is high  The tudor house was first modernised by the family in the 1890's  and is still lived  to I had to get these pictures form the internat a picture inside are not premitted. But it is a beautiful home, even though we only saw 3 homes.  The gardens kept looking good even though there is a water restriction

The Little Crissingham Court house is a small NT site It a walk in site    The court is a Tudor building s that was at one time a major building  The little town has not changed much in the last 300 years. It was town I enjoyed walking around the town and exploring it was a beautiful Australian day but I was in England

After visiting the Queens Gallery We set off to walk up Piccadilly It was a bit of bright sunny day.

We decided to go to the Queens Gallery at Buckingham Palace  The exhibition was the great India Tour of the 1890's The first Object is usually the best. And it this case it was too. This finely crafted Ink Well is made of gold and is in 19 pieces. This one of the queens finest art pieces A lot of the fine pieces were just functional trays Some were just for storing feathers  This one was a simple tray. But the detail was exceptional one had a lid that was finely done. This Box had expansive detail on the sides and Corners There were stuff boxes Pendants and pins Eggs that were to hold rings Daggers But some of the details would be work away over time
