Sledmere House

Big Sis and Neil came to visit the weekend after I finished the Airstream trailer. We went for a brilliant Malaysian meal on Saturday evening then visited Sledmere House the next day. One of many stately homes dotted around the Uk, Sledmere is impressive - the grounds were designed by Capability Brown and the craftsmanship in the architecture was fantastic.

I'm still recovering from the Airstream trailer, so I'm too tired to comment that despite all the brilliant architecture and craftsmanship on display, I could'nt help but reflect that all of this extravagant wealth was achieved on the backs of ordinary working people and the slave trade, a situation that has not really changed much today.
