Mount Edgecombe classic car show - Sunday 7th August 2011

An event which attracts hundreds of people.  Weather was forecast to be bad, but it held off til late afternoon when the heavens opened briefly.

Mount Edgecombe House was open to the public at a reduced rate today so we took advantage of that. It is a beautiful house with rooms on the corners in the turrets which are light and airy with lovely views.  In one room elizabethan clothes could be tried on to get you into the spirit.  The house then gives access to the gardens behind it.
