The annual holiday with the usual suspects also commonly called "the family" was another great success. We rented a <a href="http://www.cottages.com/cottages/heigham-view-cbbh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">large property</a> overlooking the river Thurne which was very comfortable.

En Route Mary and I stopped off at Houghton Hall to wander around the gardens and take a look at a <a href="https://www.houghtonhall.com/art-and-exhibitions/damien-hirst/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Damien Hirst exhibition</a>.
