The past year was a modest one in terms of total numbers again, but I decided to head to Wales to visit old friends in May rather than put in a full week of Trusting, so I only had one … Continue reading →

At last, with most Trust properties fully open again, I made a welcome return to more consistent blogging. There were a few occasions during the year where a shortage of volunteers restricted my visits a little and I missed a … Continue reading →

Another pitiful year in terms of visits made. Although travel was a little easier this year, many smaller Trust properties remained closed and others took a very piecemeal approach to opening, with the lack of volunteers and/or space meaning that … Continue reading →

My numbers for 2015 weren’t quite as high as in the two previous years and I ticked off only 22 properties, compared with 24 in 2013 and 32 in 2014. However, when I was offered the chance to go to … Continue reading →
