Shugborough Hall     In May we visited Shugborough Hall, home of the Earls of Lichfield, of which Patrick was probably the famous one. It was a lovely house and grounds with our mooring at the end of the fields. We stayed 3 days and took in much of the farm, house and gardens.           You cross to the house on this narrow old pack bridge.   And see this very imposing frontage.             This is the working section of the house with the laundry and servants quarters - not bad hey?   This is the back of the house leading down to the river and formal gardens.             The dining room ceiling is lovely and must have been inspired by Wedgewood.   This is the formal living room which was huge with a great big chandelier.             There is a working mill and we bought some flour and baked some bread with it.   There is also a farm with lots of animals, best bit was giving the sheep a head scratch.             The chickens were right characters.   More importantly there was also a working brewery with beer tasting - this was the master brewer.             Tracy came face to face with her hero Geoff Tracy   And Paul met his favorite Muffin in the puppet museum.
