Sunday 15 May - After some disastrous attempts to run some errands in Bristol Ian and I made our way North towards the Cotswolds. Our first stop was the National Trust site, Snowshill Manor, A house owned by Wade who had a passion for collecting. He actually dedicated the main house of the estate to his collections while he and his wife lived in the old stables. The estate has some really stunning gardens which overlook the rambling Cotswold hills. After meandering through the gardens we made our way to through the house and its myriad collections of oriental arts, miniature houses, chess pieces, spinning wheels and other various items. The theme of Mr Wades collecting was high quality handcrafting. We enjoyed our tour through the house then made our way over to Bibury.
