Spend the day with friends in rural Shropshire wondering around Hawkstone Park - a beautiful but slightly weird place complete with monuments and follies.
I quite like monuments and follies, those completely pointless edifices built in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason. They often seem to have been built by slightly eccentric Victorian estate owners - the phrase "he never married or had children" regularly seems to appear in any accompanying historical text - on remote parts of their country estates.
I wonder what the 21st century equivalent is??
Probably blogs...
