For those who don't know Eltham was the childhood home of Henry VIII. It fell into ruin until only the Great Hall remained. In 1930's it was bought by the Cortaulds who added an Art-Deco house. The house also fell into disrepair after the Cortaulds left but English Heritage have restored it.
The interiors are magnificent. Virginia Cortauld's bedroom was a firm favourite. The Great Hall is superb as well.
This is Elizabeth I's chancellor's home.

The girls were trying to tempt the fish BUT whenever they came near they jumped!
This Canada Goose was a right show off, he dived did rollovers etc!
These chaps were being elusive until this chap landed.
A really enjoyable weekend came to a close.

Oh - sorry Pete - your photos always look good to me!! Thought they were with the new camera - I have finally stopped taking most of my pics on the security blanket - my Canon Powershot - I am giving it to the hubby in exchange for the new Canon. A fair exchange.
