I am now Member of the National Trust. For 30 Pounds a year (till the age of 25) you are allowed to go in all National Trust properties. I thought it would be useful for the time I'm here so I bought it. After our 3 hour journey in the South of England we are now here in the county Surrey. After we had breakfast we drove to the "Polesden Lacey" a very nice house.
Mrs Greville once owned the house and it is really lovely. One was able to see a film on the start of the tour which presented you Lady Greville. She was a clever and keen young lady and she was also very friendly to her employers.
You can imagine living there! It was a big ground, many beautiful gardens outside and the house is valuable furnished. The National Turst earned money by letting the house on a lease for famous film productions. Some episodes of "Miss Marple" was shooted in Polesden Lacey. Also another new film with one actress of Downton Abbey was shooted in the great Hall of the building.
While you wander around the big house you can imagine that the parties must have been very spectacular. Queen Elizabeth liked to stay in Polesden Lacey as well. I like the fact that the people who are working in National Trust buildings are well-informed. When you ask them something they are able to tell you the right answer (and often with a nice story).
There is always a National Trust shop next to the property which worth a visit. They sell delicious food and also nice souvenirs. The souvenirs are often made from people which are living around the county. After our visit we went to the hospital in London to visit J-'s sister-in-law. I had to wait for a while and it was not so great to hear the bad news of her. It was a huge (!) hospital and it was different from the hospitals i know in Germany. After our short trip to London we went home. We were all tired but it was a good day.
Let's see how the other day will be here in the South...
