Sheila's first outing

Sheila arrived on Wednesday for a visit. We were happy to see her arrive ahead of schedule, well done Ryanair!

Thursday we haven't done much, but today we went to see the Chateau at Nagyteteny, which has a permanent furniture exhibition in it. The majority of the pieces were from Italy, France, Germany and Austria, with a few good Hungarian pieces thrown in. Baroque and Rococo are not quite my scene, but a few classicistic items (some of them English), some of the French inlaid stuff, some pottery and most of all the pottery stoves were magnificent. I even saw some chests with linen fold carvings on, which were termed "gothic" and looked impressive. We missed the flower festival, which was last weekend, but still managed to catch a couple of the exhibits that have survived to the following Friday.

As you can see I was busy photographing all the pottery stoves, some of the furniture, pottery and one chandelier. Sheila needed to sit down quite often, but as we have practically had the entire chateau to ourselves, that was no problem.

Afterwards we had a nice cake and a drink in a nearby cafe, did some shopping in OBI and were home by 4pm.

Tonight I saw an excellent, if somewhat frenetic version of Ray Cooney's Run for your Wife in a nearby theatre, which made me laugh non-stop until my side hurt.

Tomorrow we are off to the Sprint Championships in the South, followed by a little sight seeing in Pecs.
