Default Belton House, Grantham

What a lovely place!
I have never been inclined to sniff a few flowers and get drunk with the
ambience but this last few days my boss and me have been pricing up some
work for the national trust. Well, him not me, I feel like the chauffeur.
A true eye opener for me though, with the gardens, topiary, orangry, and
some bees which nest in walls. Not least the carpentry from the 17th
century when the blacksmith made all the nails to stick this beautiful
place together.
And they paid tax for having glass in the window frames back then!
I have never met nicer and more helpful people this few days.
