It was Deb's birthday today and her husband generously took me and her to stay at Crathorne Country House hotel. It was very nice and we were almost the only people (and monkey) there. Our room had a balcony but for some reason Deb and Ed didn't really seem to want to sit out there for any length of time, so it was left to me to admire the snowy Leven valley.
I learnt this interesting fact about Crathorne Hall when it was a private house - apparently after the war 'Mister Jeff' the butler no longer had the time to iron guests' shoe laces. And they wonder why they no longer have an Empire....
