Mrs Smith's Diary Quotes
We love these diary entries giving us a glimpse of Mrs Smith’s August in 1961:
- 28th August 1961 - A quiet day resting & knitting. Went to post & for ice cream.
- 29th August 1961 - Much the same as previous day, but no ice cream.
Come and visit, and don't miss Apple Day!
 Don't forget, Apple Day at Mrs Smith's Cottage is just around the corner! Join us on 16 September for a delightful celebration of all things apple. 🍎
We’re open to guests on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Mondays, 12pm-4pm, with a last entry time of 3pm.
Mrs Smith’s door was always open to drop-in visitors, and so are we! Due to the small size of the building we recommend booking your visit in advance to avoid disappointment.
