Gardens Of The National Trust - Vol. 3 (DVD)

Trust in a National Annual Season Ticket

Advantages: The National Trust is committed to saving as much of our heritage "FOREVER, FOR EVERYONE".
Disadvantages: Looking after lots of national treasures is expensive.

The National Trust Overview The National Trust is a registered charity that looks after national treasures both man-made and natural. They work to preserve and protect coastline, countryside and buildings in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Trust for Scotland does a similar job north of the border. (The two organisations allow members of either free admission.) They get no Government support, but rely on income from membership fees, donations, legacies and their commercial enterprises. As I haven't got enough fingers and toes to count these personally, I got the statistics regarding what is in the care of the National Trust from their website. 707 miles of coastline 611,300 acres of countryside 5,150 pre-historic sites 215 houses and gardens 149 museums 57 villages 6 World Heritage Sites ...

Review of National Trust Annual Membership

National trust membership - a great investment

Advantages: cheap days out once a member, enjoyable and educational at the same time

Recently we've taken to planning our holidays around which National Trust properties we can visit, initially as a money-saving plan but now because we've enjoyed the ones we've visited so much.

If you found yourself on the other side of the country in Cornwall you could visit several stunningly beautiful gardens, an amazing Victorian house and a tin mine, not to mention enjoy free car parking at lots of coastal locations.

Mr Bean - The Animated Series - Vol. 3 DVD

Advantages: kids like it
Disadvantages: is nothing compared to the original

senses and seeks help. Overall I'm awarding a 3 star rating, dispite it appearing they've actually put some effort into the DVD e.g. by addiing bonus trailers, interviews and clips it still doesn't detract from the point that it's not a good series and is really aimed at little children. I'm still surprised Rowan let this go ahead, although Mr Bean wasn't his creation, it is his image and the new t.v. series ruins what was a classic masterpiece 'Mr Bean'. Thanks for reading & best wishes, mintz x x x ...
