Compliment Berry (17-07-2008)

This is a country house in London. The old coach house is now a restaurant, and packed inside and out in the summer months with people fetching cream teas. It is expensive, but sometimes you can nick things if the queues are dense and block the view from the tills (- insider Londoner tip for you there!). The house itself is surprisingly ugly, but, thank God, no longer painted bright pink as it was once long ago. At the back is the museum with paintings in it, including some famous and beautiful Rembrandts. The main point of the place is for parents to sit down while their children run wild in the field in front. In the winter we used to go toboganning, but it no longer snows so deeply in London, alas.
