Paxton House的点评
点评：We arrived at midday and started our tour with the water wheel and other machinery
all being looked after by a dedicated volunteer who was very knowledgeable on the mechanics and the history of the water supply to the house - the Hydram pump as was installed in 1897 to supply the house and these are still being made today and used worldwide with only 2 moving parts !
He was so interesting to listen to and his enthusiasm spilled over
We then had a picnic and soaked up the sheer beauty of the trees and surroundings before a guide tour with Jim who was exceptional with his witty remarks but also his depth of knowledge on the superb Chippendale collection and Library
Some of the rooms were simply breathtaking - there are other borders Castles and Stately Homes which come very close .
We finally moved through the great hall where rehearsals were taking place for a recital in the evening - her voice filled the space with such clarity and hope to catch
some of your music events next time .
The pre house tour displays was also excellent with a sensitive approach to links with West Indies - the video , photos and paintings in the upper gallery were very moving .
We then took the path down to the Tweed towards the Union Bridge
This was overgrown with thistles at some points but to our surprise a team from Borders Council was strimming their way through this as they must have started the day at the bridge and we met them at 5pm - they were still cheery about it so can you please thank BC for doing such a great job .
We ran out of time to walk in the woodland garden so we will be back again soon
We are so privileged to have such beautiful places to visit
Many thanks

翻译：我们中午到达，开始了参观，首先参观了水车和其他机械。
所有设备都由一位敬业的志愿者负责维护，他对房屋的机械原理和供水历史了如指掌——Hydram水泵于1897年安装，用于房屋供水。如今，这些水泵仍在生产，并在世界各地使用，而且只有两个活动部件！
他的讲解非常有趣，他的热情洋溢着我们的心情。
之后，我们享用了野餐，沉浸在树木和周围环境的纯粹美景中，然后由吉姆带领导游参观。吉姆不仅风趣幽默，而且对奇彭代尔精美的收藏和图书馆有着深入的了解。
有些房间简直令人叹为观止——其他一些城堡和庄园也与之相差无几。
最后，我们穿过大厅，那里正在为晚上的独奏音乐会进行排练——她的声音清晰地响彻整个空间，希望下次有机会参加你们的音乐活动。
参观前的展览也非常精彩，巧妙地展现了与西印度群岛的联系——楼上画廊的视频、照片和绘画都令人动容。
然后，我们沿着小路下到特威德河，朝着联合桥走去。
桥上有些地方长满了蓟草，但令我们惊讶的是，边境委员会的一支队伍正在修剪桥上的杂草，因为他们肯定是从桥上开始一天的。我们下午5点见到了他们——他们仍然兴高采烈，所以请你们感谢边境委员会的出色工作。
我们没有时间在林地花园里散步，所以我们很快会再来的。
我们很荣幸能参观如此美丽的地方。
非常感谢
