Lacock Abbey

June 7th - Monday - Day 15

Lacock Abbey! which is where Harry Potter was filmed, well parts of the first two films. i walked with Kacie and she explained it a little but mostly was in ahhh, and it was adorable. and it is also the location where the first surviving negative was taken. it is the place where Fox Talbot lived and he took a picture of a Latticed Window, and it was beautiful! we toured the abbey all after noon and then we went and did a workshop where we did Salt printing, a process the Talbot used himself. first you coat the paper with a 2% salt solution and then in the dark you coat it with a 15% silver nitrate solution and then you set in in the sun. like the photo above :) for lunch we went to this lil tea room, and i had a turkey and cranberry sandwich with tea, supper yummy! oh and we road in a double decker bus! we rode on top in the front. super crazy! and we took a taxi to the abbey and it was WEIRD being on that side of the road, very weird.
oh and i rolled my ankle. fun.
Love,
