Penniedarling

 I sat in Sir Francis Drake's chair... it was way back in 1968.  Buckland Abbey once belonged to Sir Francis Drake, it was bought by Captain Arthur Rodd in 1946 then he presented the Abbey to the National Trust in 1948 but resided nearby in the Cider House.     Fanny Rodd took us on a tour of Buckland Abbey and insisted that I sit on Drake's chair... which I did of course, I always do as I'm told  :-)    We then had afternoon tea in the Cider house with Arthur Rodd's widow.
