29th March 2011. Much nearer home this time and just enjoying ourselves. Shugborough Hall. It comes under the aegis of both Staffordshire County Council and The National Trust. I don’t know what bits each look after, but it obviously works extremely well!

You can take (non-flash) pictures inside these places. I’m not sure what this room is, though. Actually, my current camera, which has served me very well indeed for several years, nevertheless has a number of disadvantages, and we are thinking of upgrading. But this shot isn’t too bad, is it? (Comment added in December 2019: The improvement in the performance of cameras in low light conditions has improved immeasurably in recent years!! A smartphone (I haven’t got one) is probably better than my Canon 650!)
