Dry rot and daffodils: behind the scenes in a National Trust house

Trama

I had wondered why our stairs were more draughty than usual..." If you thought living in a stately home was all gleaming banisters, visiting aristocracy and priceless antiques, then Dry Rot and Daffodils is a must-read. Throughout her years living at Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk Mary Mackie has encountered dry rot, leaking roofs, visting children who leave bubble-gum on the antiques - and a complete lack of privacy.
