Waddesdon
We’d booked a trip to Waddesdon for 10 o’clock am
We were looking forward to seeing this true gem.
The car park is near the entrance at the bottom of a hill
As the house is miles away this is a bitter pill!
It is very hot today and we had to walk.
As we had the hill to climb there couldn’t be much talk!
Mostly in the open with the sun just beating down,
If there were any water near, you might prefer to drown!
The building when you get there is in the chateau style
In a wondrous setting for mile on rolling mile.
The gardens are spectacular at any time of year
But in between the seasons not all the flowers are here!
Still in formal beauty there is enough to see
With statues overlooking in silent dignity.
After taking in your fill of landscaped gardening
You can sip a coffee designed to make you sing.
When you are refreshed enough you wend your weary way
Back down to the car park where you end your stay.
You may be tired and sweaty, and much like a grease spot
But you have enjoyed your visit to this beauty spot.
