We travelled by coach, on a trip organised by the Marlbrough branch of the EG. The highlight of the trip was to be able to go into the textile storage area of the museum and see their wonderful collection. We were given permission to photograph as well... wonderful. these pockets were on display last year at the Bath costume museum -find out why Lucy Lockett lost her pocket.
There is also a great collection of love spoons.
(click on the photo to enlarge, an interesting read)
In the vast grounds of the Museum, they have restored a medieval Roman Catholic Church and are in the process of painting the murals. so colourful.
I walked all round the site and noticed how much my feet were aching, when it was time to catch the coach home. It did not seem long before we were leaving Wales and crossing the Severn Bridge again into England.
Then in no time at all we were nearing home.

Sounds like a lovely day out, those embroidered pockets look wonderful
Diolch am ymweld a Chymru, Maggie. Brysiwch yn ol! Since Carol wrote in the language of heaven I thought I would too. At the end I have just added, hurry back.
