| Have just read in Country Life that the new Garden of Surprises at Burghley
House is opening on 27th April. It boasts 30 striking water features,
including water jets, a house furnished with water, a mirror maze and
revolving busts of the caesars. Wonder if it's got any plants. ;-)
Hmmmmmmmm!

Does anyone live near there who could report back?

Yes Sacha, I do, and it's well worth a visit. Whilst you're there, why not
drop in to Stamford's George Hotel for lunch, then it's only three miles
up the road to Geoff Hamilton's Barnsdale. Now that IS worth a visit!

Noted for the Tour of Britain which, at this rate, is going to take three
months, not one! Many thanks for the info and recommendation. Are you
planning to go to Burghley to let us know what it's like? ;-)

Yes, I might just do that, if I can fight my way through the day trippers.

Like we used to tell the children - "eat up your lunch and it's chocolate
surprise for pudding". "There's no chocolate". "That's the surprise"!
They still all giggle about that one when they're all together. ;-)
