Another visit to Gunnebo House
Aug. 5th, 2018 10:55 pm Anna and I had decided to make another late 18th-early 19th century outing to Gunnebo House. We invited other local empire style enthusiasts, but unfortunately no-one could make it this time. I had bought a cheap croquet set and made a bag for it to make it easier to carry on the bus.
We had a good time, though none of us turned out to be very good at croquet - Annas was definitely best of us two
The other visitors were very entertained by us and I'm sure we are in many people's cameras now. I got one of the persons who talked to us to take a photo of both of us in action:
After playing a few rounds we went to the cafe for tea and cake. It was very full, because they have open air theatre from Thursday to Sunday every week and lots of people order a meal before or after the show.
Having done this three times now we think that two hours is about as long as you want to hang out in the gardens and that we should plan our events accordingly. And include a swim in the nearby lake afterwards - it was lovely this time too.
