Last week I visited Compton Verney in Warwickshire with Rachel, my youngest daughter. We're both keen photographers so it was a great chance to take a few pictures each and see what kinds of subjects appealed to us. Interestingly she tended to notice the small details of colours and textures, and I tended to be looking for landscape shots of the buildings across the lake. Compton Verney's grounds are beautifully landscaped by Capability Brown and the house itself includes an art gallery and a very fine cafe. The parkland and woods were well maintained and the house remarkably free of outside clutter, so altogether a very pleasant visit indeed.
