After four days staying in a redundant railway station (Alton, Staffordshire) in the shadow of this 'gothic' waste of an aristocrat's excessive fortune (16th so-called 'earl' of Shrewsbury) I'm off - to some simple normality called 'home'.

A farm near me has this ravishing Pugin barn. I get to see it once a year when they sell Christmas trees.

Fascinating visit and tour round the #stateapartments at the #palaceofwesminster and the #speakershouse. Love the #pugin! Hope to visit the #ElizabethTower and #BigBen soon. #London #Tour #parliament
