Today's Thursday Adventure took me to Barrington Court. It was a mixed feeling. I needed ear plugs for the screaming children and I had to bite my tongue a few times too. Especially at the parents lifting their children over the fencing to play on the "closed due to crumbling statues" areas, the statues were clearly crumbling and in need of care.

What kind of person has so little respect for someone else's property they encourage children to throw litter around? There were several adults and children throwing down crisp packets and juice bottles and walking off leaving them there. Despite that it was a beautiful place with gorgeous grounds and delicate wood carving in the house.
