The build up to The Walk for Skin did not start well. I’d had my Contact Sensitisation Treatment on Friday and had a nasty reaction to the treatment, this resulted with my spending most of Saturday in bed and not being able to keep any food down.
The walk began by passing the boating lake and new born lambs into the woodlands and a delightful display of bluebells. Thankfully this provided a little coolness from the exceedingly hot sun. A short walk up a track led us into an open field with no shelter from the sun, this took us past many poly tunnels which were not in use, but appeared to have potatoes growing there.
We went from here through more woodland and many fields until we came full circle to the end of the walk. People in the houses neighbouring the fields came out to encourage us on. Even the resident woodland deer put in an appearance.
On completion of the walk we returned to the check in point and an clown clad entertainer made us a giraffe from a blue balloon, who was duly christened Jeffery.
Whilst at Ragley we visited the hall which is the family home of the Marquess and Marchioness of Hertford and has been the seat of the Conway Seymour family since 1680. The house was not completed until the middle of the 18th century, when it was finally decorated and fully furnished. How the other half live.
