We've decided to do Wilton house instead, have already gathered the pictures and Càndia and I started working on it. Roger isn't here today, and Fernando has done what he needs to do to start the postcard.
Wilton House:
Wilton House is an English country house situated at Wilton near Salisbury in Wiltshire. At first the house was a small house of little importance (871 AD), later it became larger and was granted more terrain.
