OK so we've been back for a week now and I thought I'd better get organised and show you all more of our photos from our trip. Aaron hasn't sorted out the 20'gig' that he took and I'd have to say I don't think it will get done before moving day, it feels like we have so much to do!!
These photos are of Audley End - see below for more details.

Aaron was our main photographer, so I have lots of photos of him like this!!
If there is water to be found Avryl needs to play in it.
Avryl found pink roses, just like Dorothy likes!!
Audley End House - view of the back of the house.
What a fun day this was, we found this place in the English Heritage Properties Guide Book. It looked like it would be good so off we went and after only about 10 wrong turns along the way found it!
They have tours of the house that take about an hour, we decided to risk it with Avryl and I would have to say her behaviour was as close to perfect as you get with a three year old!! The inside is unbelievable for us Aussies anyway! The gardens are fantastic to wander around, there were so many people having picnics there, it was a gorgeous day, we're told it was hotter than their Summer days.
The Servant's quarters were set up as they would have been in Victorian times, including actresses playing the parts of Dairy Maid, Laundry Maid and Kitchen Maid. The Kitchen Maid was even doing the day's baking in an oven heated by fire!!!
