LONGLEAT!!

ROAD TRIP! Finally - out of Leeds - a 'summer' vacation! I love Leeds but I've never lived in a city this big without access to a car that can get me out of the city when I needed it. Since we've lived in Britain, we've never taken a road trip - neither of us have taken the risk of getting behind the wheel here! Very very very exciting... We're going down to Longleat, the manorial seat of the 7th Marquis of Bath (pronounced mar-quess) in Wiltshire between Bath and Salisbury. Not on a private invite alas...as with most of these ancient titles and properties, the land has been converted into public amusements. In this case, a safari park...oh yeah.
