Ugbrooke Cottage
I took this today 7th June 2009. We had spent a lovely day at Ugbrooke House. Which is only ten minutes from our cottage.It is the home of Lord and Lady Clifford. It was an open day for the RNLI. We were so lucky with the weather, unlike last year when it rained the whole time. As we were leaving Ugbrooke House, there in front of us was this beautiful Thatched Cottage so I had to stop and get some shots and am pleased with the result. Thank you for looking.
