THE BASKERVILLLE DINING EXPERIENCE
/>Sylvia Agnew (Lady Frankland) contacted me a month prior to the event with details of menu (for cook, Mrs Hudson) and characters you may wish to assume. This is not obligatory and you could go as you are or make up your own. The fun started a week before getting outfits together. You really do not have to go to great expense as black tie and long dresses would be quiet suitable. We hired YELVERTON TAXIS to transport us there and back and awaited the carriage to transport us to Laughter Hole House. A charming little bay called Pasty and the equally charming Perkins turned up in a pretty 4 seater Governess cart. It brought back my childhood memories of our mode of transport......As my mother did not drive, we were at the mercy of our beautiful big, fat, chestnut cob called Jasper, our ride and drive pony, who always felt it his duty to be extremely anti-social as soon as we got into the trap by raising his tail! I digress! There were strange noises in the distance....what could they be????!! We arrived at the house and met by Tilly, the maid who offered a few "extras" and ushered us into the room to meet Lady Frankland. Champagne and canapés were most welcome whilst we awaited the others of our party and another couple. Mr Holmes joined us before dinner was announced and the party began! Excellent food, excellent wine and excellent company! I have not laughed so much for ages! I will not spoil the story but only to say come and stay with us and BOOK AN EVENING FOR YOURSELVES and enjoy THE BASKERVILLE DINING EXPERIENCE. Dates are limited so do book in good time. During the Christmas season they also do DICKENS EVENINGS with a visit from Scrooge and during the summer VICTORIAN PICNICS in the garden overlooking the magnificent
