Part 1 HERE
On the way back through the woods, we came across a few interesting bits and bobs.
lots of mushrooms everywhere
We got back to the formal gardens, no roses as it was late in the year, but a few bits of autumn colour.
For more pictures there’s a full album HERE
Sophie and I hoped to return here in spring and see the rose garden, but as the corona virus is taking hold in the country now as I write, I’m not sure if that will happen.
Stay tooned though, still some more adventures to do!

Magical pics, as always.

For that money, I could get someone to build me a real (one-man) one. 🙂

Another enjoyable tour. I love the critters stuck into the trees. Here there is a bit of a fad of sticking dolls into trees at impossible-to-reach heights. It’s rather startling to suddenly see a head staring down at you! Just down the street is a mailbox with trains and baby dolls – occasionally rearranged – for our enjoyment.

I think in the first somebody tried to make a tower for a giant chessboard. “View through the woods to the hall” has a very wonderful sky, I was about to clean the screen when I checked it was a bird! it is so perfectly in the axis of the composition. Very serene day : )

There are so many around my part of the country, I am missing getting out to see them so much. Can’t be helped though so will look forward to when we are allowed out again.
