Chartwell House

We went to the above yesterday as it was our sobs birthday and he is into all this art thing. To be honest I have never been so bored in a stately home in my life. The grounds are nothing to speak about and Churchill in my opinion was not that good at painting. The impression I came away with after looking and the awards-medals etc was he was a pompous old git full of himself. It completely changed my impression of him.
would i recommend a visit ? No definately not but i am not into art anyway.

This year is the first time they have allowed non flash photos to be taken.

never given him much thought anyway, only what the media have shown to give an impression. Apparently he was unkind and rude to his staff according to a letter written by his wife telling him off about it
