part 1 HERE
After wandering around the walled garden (see part 1) we then went into the large conservatory and took some photos of the flowers and bits and bobs.
there were a few different types of Fuschia
the glass house is definitely full of flowery goodness
A nice detail set into the wall

“When wearied and overwrought by study or affairs of business, repair to these haunts and refresh your mind by a stroll amidst the flowers”
We left the glass-house and had a wander up to the bird feeding station
It was nearing lunchtime for us too, so we walked back up to the house, past the lake and boat shed
A heron took flight out of the reeds whilst we were shooting and I managed a half decent shot
Stay tooned for when we visit inside the house!
Great pics…love the pheasant…greedy b*****d 😀

I have tried so many times to get the ‘local’ Heron on camera, with no luck. That was a corker, FR.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks Pete, it was a bit of a surprise when he shot up and I’ve got many more blurry ones of it!

Thanks Fraggle. 😱 So much to do! But facing a 2,000 mile drive, worried about snow and ice is the hardest part. Just do it. Right? Right.
