Holkham Hall: Diary of a Cranky Woman

Dear Diary. Today, I had the displeasure of visiting Holkham Hall, a rather ghastly eighteenth century country house in Norfolk. I found the place to be particularly exuberant with its Palladian architecture and its opulent interior. I mean, a room full of statues is hardly becoming and as for the staff, well for starters. I was met by a woman who described herself vastly. She said her name was Catherine, the collection's coordinator at Holkham and she was there to be our guide on this weeks episode of Bad Mannors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
