Coincidently we were staying at Brownsea Castle, which is owned by the NT but leased to JLP who use it for their staff, very lovely it is too, we also used to stay at a similar establishment run by JLP, Lullebrook Manor in Cookham, and this is reputed to be the original Toad Hall of 'Wind in the Willows'.

Not many people know that! [:D][/quote]Really ? I'm quite surprised as I was raised in Cookham and rambled the Odney Estate as a child ( I was friendly with the gardener's son) that's the first I have heard of it. However a few miles from where I live now, in Mapledurham and Pangbourne, far more is made of the connection.
