Last week my Mum and I went to Littlecote House which is not far from us....they where opening the gardens under the National Gardens Scheme for charity......
It is now a hotel with leisure club but it has had a varied past....
...it is a Tudor mansion and many...many years ago when it was open as a country house open to the public our school had a trip here............
needless to say there are quite a few ghost stories... one particularly grisly one was about baby that was born here and the master of the house was so outraged about it he threw the baby in the fire.......its mother... originally called 'The Grey Lady ' if I remember correctly..... walks the corridors crying for her child.....we all scared ourselves stupid over this and of course we all saw her!!!!
..but on a beautiful sunny Thursday..all our cares were for the lovely gardens and whether we could find the ramp to the cafe for a cream tea!!!
..we had great fun careering down this slope.....Mother in her wheelchair.....the wind whistling by us .....laughter in the air.......
.....until I realised there was only me to push her back up again!!!!!
