It looks so beautiful that I may have to drive on one day and visit! The house looks very interesting as well and it's nice that there's a history to both house and gardens. Thanks for letting us know about this lovely place!

Alpacas have such cute faces don't they, they were obviously interested in having their photo taken. A lovely shot of the man fishing - fly fishing always seems such a relaxing thing to do without all the paraphernalia that ordinary fishermen have to carry round. And how can you resist such a look from the dogs - hope they enjoyed the cake.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-49176991625154467702015-08-13T07:21:04.921+01:002015-08-13T07:21:04.921+01:00The gardens have only been developed in more recen...The gardens have only been developed in more recent times.
