One of the more fun things we do at this time of the year is to restock our Knebworth House Gift Shop for the summer season.\u00a0 We take delivery of boxes of dinosaur toys, dinosaur keyrings, dinosaur t-shirts\u2026 and, this year, dinosaur bubble blowers, which unfortunately got loose in their box and arrived having all taken a bath.\u00a0 They\u2019ve been sitting out to dry in our conference room, contributing to meetings, for a couple of weeks. \u00a0Then, with archery and jousting to look forward to on 21st<\/sup>\/22nd<\/sup> April we need to make sure we have all the accoutrement for the aspiring young knight \u2013 made in plastic now, rather than at the blacksmith, but I think we can all agree that\u2019s a good thing. \u00a0Then there\u2019s Knebworth House chocolate.\u00a0 Lots of that, of course.\u00a0 Quite happy if that doesn\u2019t sell and we have to finish it off before its sell by date at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Most fun for me, however, is hunting around for relevant books.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s important, after you\u2019ve had a tour of Knebworth House and been told how influential the Bulwer Lytton family were in the literary world to see examples of their novels and biographies for sale in the Gift Shop, even if they\u2019re quite difficult to find nowadays.\u00a0 And I am pleased that, this year, we have also been able to restock Hugh Madgin\u2019s excellent 2011 book \u201cKnebworth Through Time\u201d, which is 96 pages of fascinating views of our village, as it was, and as it is now.\u00a0 This is not easy to find nowadays either \u2013 but, along with your dinosaur bubble blower, you can find it in the Knebworth House Gift Shop!<\/p>\n
