    Hello, Elliott here (aged 9 years and 10 months). We left home at 9:00 am and drove to Cullompton Services for a wee and coffee stop. After a quick break we were back on the road and drove 62 miles to Stourhead National Trust, where we had a walk around the lovely house and gardens. We saw an old woman having a rant at frail old man with one arm! I was impressed by a big cabinet which had jewels inset in it. Mummy later looked it up on her phone and said it was worth 8-12 million pounds! Oh I forgot to tell you that it now has one less gem!

    Haha, thanks Elliott, I wondered why my bag was a bit heavier when we left! Stourhead really was amazing, the house was stunning, without being overly ornate and the library was something else! We has a little wander to the lake to take in some of the views, but it was soon time to hit the road again. We'd definitely like to come back and spend more time here though. Laura.
