Had a good breakfast served in the house dining room, complete with ancestors on the wall. Then we asked for the bill. It was much more than we expected. Last night's wine was £8 and £5 each for breakfast (cereal, toast, juice and tea), so all in all it was a very expensive stay. But beautiful.
Still, we got packed up and back on the road. The knee had improved enormously overnight (the red wine probably helped). We went back the way we came for about a hundred yards, through a couple of gates, turned left through a wood and into a clearing by another farm building and we were at the back of Sandy Sikes. We could have taken a short cut out of the back gate and been right where we were standing! We decided that would have been cheating.
