Charleston is just the loveliest place, the gardens {& tea room} are just fabulous {if you like that kind of thing} sadly we didn't get to look round the house, you have to turn up to buy tickets for the tour on the day, it seems that people in the know turn up when they open, buy their ticket, then enjoy a stroll & spot of lunch, we weren't so organised but i will be going back again, maybe without small child next time, as i now know what to expect {although little O was on her best behaviour}

we went to have a look at the Kaffe Fassett exhibition which is on there till the 21st August & whilst they only had a small amount of his work there, what they did have was truly beautiful & inspiring,
