On the 26th June, 25 of the Friends of Romsey Abbey gathered for a trip to the National Trust house and gardens at Stourhead, stopping en-route at the fascinating exhibition centre that houses what used to be known as the Brush Factory – everything that you could ever want to know about brushes of all types is found there as well as a very welcome, award-winning cafe.

It was indeed a good day out, with the bonus of wonderful weather, hopefully the smiling faces say it all!
