Schoolhouse Lunch

I was at the old Mount Stewart gas-works today. It's almost opposite the main entrance to the estate.

We spent the morning cutting away scrub from the area beside the gasworks itself.

This afternoon we all assembled at the schoolhouse, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch comprising sandwiches, steak pie, soup, nibbles, buns, crisps, and Echlinville apple tart.

Hugh and I picked the apples ourselves on Island Taggart a few months ago.
