Dyram Park is a grand baroque house with spectacular sweeping views towards Bristol and was designed by Talman for William Blathwayt, Secretary at War during the reign of William III (of Orange). Lavish 17th-century collections reflect the fashion for all things Dutch, including paintings and furniture. Later 18th-century additions include the Victorian domestic quarters where we joined a taster tour. Lovely formal gardens to the back of the house leading round to the parish church.
Turned out to be a beautiful day and Wales was as nice as England – had a nice BBQ at Paul & Rita’s and saw Anna & David with the boys just before we left, then back to see the end of the Spain Honduras match where the Spanish remembered how to play football. I hope England remember on Wednesday.
