A Fine Evening

Last night I was invited by my new host family to a charity event that they had worked to organize. It took place in an old mansion called Jaggard's House. There, after having served food and wine to the participants, I sat by the fire in the main room. The enormous chimney had the date 1657 encrypted into it. I was asked to pull out my guitar and sing a few tunes. The people gathered around on the couch and chairs, listening and sipping the last of the wine.

"House belonged to a holding referred to in 1340, held by Kington family c1560-1766, passed to J. Shore, Leir family and in 1866 to J.B.Fuller of Neston Park"
