SERENDIPITY 2
Our June meeting found us returning to Castle Hill House. We had been determined to return there after our visit a year ago when the day had been wall-to-wall torrential rain. Despite this, we had enjoyed our day and had been impressed by the gardens and wanted to see them on a sunnier day. We were not disappointed and the weather was glorious. We had lunch at the nearby Stag Inn beside the lake and then proceeded to the House.
This visit we climbed to the castle behind the house and our efforts were rewarded with spectacular views. Black and white pictures do not do this justice, but they do give you some idea.
At our next meeting, we will be dows-ing again, this time at Penhallam Manor.

As mentioned in my last report, we went dowsing at Penhallam Manor in July. The day had been damp in the morning, but turned out fair for our trip and Lucille had gone to a great deal of trouble giving us a plan of the Manor and suggested dowsing tasks. We had an extremely fascinating afternoon and I feel we could well be returning some time in the future.
In August, we felt it best not to travel too far as the roads would be busy with visitors and we decided to have an old fashioned “high tea”. We all brought a plate, cucumber sandwiches and old-fashioned lemonade and tea poured from bone china teapots. We decided to dress for the occasion and even had hats, although these did not stay on for long. In fact a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all. The September meeting was cancelled as I was away and we had a quiet discussion afternoon in October.

We still have spaces for anyone interested in joining us.
