Tomorrow is our last day at Benslow. We have had hot summer weather all week, very calm and surprisingly humid.
The gardens around the house are beautiful, and include a large vegetable patch used for our meals. Yesterday we had fresh broad beans and zucchini.
This morning when we went to breakfast we were greeted by a group of 5 viols playing serenely on the terrace. This afternoon we walked to Hitchin to do some shopping, a quaint little English town with attractive old buildings lining the main street and market place.
Tomorrow we go by train to Ed's where we will celebrate Nikki's birthday, before flying to Bergamo early on Saturday. We will then drive a hire car to Argegno on Lake Como.
