The National Trust - Philipp's House
Relaxed after the nice weekend we had a good start in this new week. On our timetable we had a visit to the Philipp's House - a National Trust property - near by Salisbury. We were all very amazed by the nice landscape and the beautiful architecture. After a short introduction by the inhabitant we got a funny and interesting overview about the history followed by a walkabout through the public rooms of the house. Our "guide" was one of the 43 000 volunteers of the National Trust who told us some blithe storys about the eponym of the property, the rooms and the library. Also in Philipp's house we were invited for a coffee/tee brake which we enjoyed in the huge park while sitting in the sun.
The brake was followed by a speech about the National Trust in general which was very helpful for our project.
Although we were apparantly intended spending this two weeks studying 24/6 (in our case, but maybe even 24/7; who knows?), we got the afternoon for a stay in Salisbury were we visited the cathedral and explored this charming city by ourselves. Some of us even went to the famous place Stonehange.
