Gilbert White's House in Selbourne



The festive season may be rapidly approaching but there's still time to squeeze in a bit of culture! .... On Sunday, Stuart and I visited the house and gardens of a British 18th-century local naturalist, Gilbert White... not a patch on Buffon (!) but the house also contains the Oates Museum... one member of the Oates family was with Scott on his fateful Antarctic expedition in 1911.... very interesting.....
The odd thing in the garden that I am sitting in is, well, your guess is as good as mine but it was gifted by the Bonham-Carter family (if that means anything to anyone!)
Anyway, time to get back to wrap up some presents....!!!!
