With the added attraction of an Easter Egg hunt, who could resist? Certainly not Quinn & Sera so off to Styal for a walk round the mill and a look at the latest addition - the "secret garden".
It's been a few years since I last visited and whilst the fabric of the mill remains, there is a definite change in the "feel" of the place.
A number of the exhibits are definitely looking a bit tatty and there seems to have been an effort to modernise the "visiting experience".
In common with so many museums today it seems we have to be challenged by multi-media interactivity rather than being left to make up our own minds.
One thing that did annoy me was the ban on photography inside the property. I can understand banning flash photography in some places with delicate fabrics and paintings - but an industrial heritage site? When was cast iron last jeopardised by a camera?
A stroll in the garden after the walk through the mill was nice with Quinn in reflective mood & Sera skipping her way through life as ever!
