Brave you with the car purchase - I hate hate hate buying cars so we tend to hang onto ours until they blow up on the motorway (has happened to the last three....maybe we;re doing something wrong). <BR/>Maize mazes great fun - so James chimes up from behind me. <BR/>Don't feel guilty about the 4x4 - there are some places where you simply have to have them....we have the same thing - some roads impassable without in winter. Just wish the government would realise that we're not gas-guzzling out of choice here in the country.

We have just had to trade in our old landrover too, we now have a gleaming second hand one, but I can't relax driving it, not until I am completely confident in it and the 'newness' has worn offf, and I can relax once again.<BR/>Holiday sounded good, and it is always refreshing to arrive home after a break.

In the old dairy, which is licensed for weddings, and not quite as grand as the main house, but still nice! My parents moved to Amersham from north London when I was 18, and though I was mainly living away from home in those days, that area still feels very familiar and homey. I really know what you mean about the car - there are some quite deep fords around here too, and most of the children's friends seem to live on farms, when I had my little hatchback the suspension got ruined within about 3 months.Suffolkmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15123007594112557168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-78646797080752355972007-08-20T20:46:00.000+01:002007-08-20T20:46:00.000+01:00We have friends who chosen not to have children an...We have friends who chosen not to have children and have lots of money to burn but I wouldn't swap the kids for an Aga (not unless it was a particularly good one... only joking kids).

I lived there on Hawkslade Park Estate for 4 years in a one bedroom flat and paid through the nose for it, in those days when rates were at their peak and many experienced negative equity - including me! It was a nice estate though, probably twice as big now. We made some nice friends who we didn't keep in touch with! Then 2 years after moving back to Manchester, we got divorced!! <BR/><BR/>Not to worry. I never visited the Manor. Your photo's are beautiful. I do belive Antiques Roadshow did an episode there once, quite a lot time ago.<BR/><BR/>Crystal xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1679999832936208492.post-55401368631777388282007-08-20T18:25:00.000+01:002007-08-20T18:25:00.000+01:00Sounds like you had a lovely time ... shame about ...Sounds like you had a lovely time ... shame about the cars though.
