Sheffield Park

Spent my first weekend back from Venice with friends in Haywards Heath. They have two lovely little kids who don't yet realise how lucky they are to have affluent parents. Did you have an electric car in which to run around your extensive garden?

 We went out with them to Sheffield Park, a National Trust property renowned for its autumn colour. And with our late autumn, most of the leaves were still there to enjoy.

 After that we deserved lunch in a village gastropub, just beyond the church.
