Visit to Arley Hall 29th June

The weather wasn't kind for our summer outing. The rain was persistent and it was cold. However the 25 society members who came to Arley Hall are a tough lot. Maybe we spent rather too much time in the coffee shop in the morning, but we enjoyed an informal guided tour around the Hall after lunch. And there was a brief window of sunshine later when we could at least sample the gardens and admire the superb deep herbaceous borders.
