Stoke Gabriel to Ringwood
We enjoyed lunch with a relative, Sally, husband Robin and one of their daughters, Violet in their splendid garden.
The house itself has medieval origins -with modern studio extensions for Sally's painting. They very kindly presented me with a book which may throw light on our family Tudor origins!
The journey from there to Ringwood, to visit schoolfriend Geoff and wife Patsy, passes through many places with names with fascinating origins.
