Becky wandered to... Croome Court

It's no secret that I'm an old lady inside. I love old houses, I love walking round the countryside, and I love baking a cake in an afternoon. I'm not one for lots of shopping and clubbing that probably most 22 year olds do.

I'm a National Trust member, and try to visit one at least once a month. I've been going to Croome Court for years now - it used to be to walk my little doggy Henry, but after we lost him I found it difficult to go back for a while.


It was a beautiful sunny day, full of families and PUPPIES everywhere, which made me sad. It's the perfect place to come and walk dogs.


It's like running through a meadow; so peaceful and beautiful. The gardens were designed by Capability Brown, and have grown so much during the last few years.


There's the main house. It's only been open for a few years, as they've struggled with money for a long time. We didn't go in, but I know it's lovely. It's bright and airy, and there used to be a small room in the cellar with lots of info on RAF Defford and the housekeepers etc who worked here during the war. Really interesting.


They've even got little deck chairs you can sit on (for free for once!) and marvel over the field to the house, in amongst buttercups and bees and other lovely country life.


I truly love it here. When we finally get ourselves a dog then this'll be my new home. Plus it's free for us oldies who are members!

Game of bowls anyone?!
