Dry Rot and Daffodils

by Mary Mackie

Published 21 April 1994
This sequel to "Cobwebs and Cream Teas" continues the story of the author's seven years of living in and running Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property in north Norfolk. Until Edwardian times an army of servants kept a great house in order, for the benefit of one family and its guests. Nearly a century later, a handful of people provide much the same service for thousands of summer visitors to mansions which now belong to the nation. As the only permanent house-staff at Felbrigg Hall, the author and her husband might one day be found crawling through a void between floors, covered in cobwebs and dead flies, finding dried mice and bats in inaccessible places; and the next day restraining over-enthusiastic visitors - and their children - or frantically preparing to receive royalty.
