A day of just relaxing and enjoying ourselves was called for. As Maggie put it "today we are doing retirement".
Our Anniversary Selfie
We visited the Shugborough Estate. Although the house and farm were closed, it being a Tuesday, we enjoyed the gardens, the tea room (for lunch), and the National Trust Shop. This was followed by a stroll around Great Haywood visiting Haywood Cliffs and a visit to the Lockhouse Tea Rooms for afternoon tea.
