A lovely place San,and glad you had a nice day out.I love the tree trunk,it looks like a carving..and the grasses look so graceful,wheh they move in the wind,don't they? £10 for a hotpot? was it a Betty special off Corrie ? .Lol.That is such a rip off..Glad you found somewhere more reasonable....

Hope u had a good time Sandra.great photos, any idea what the huge gorgeous grass is?

great day dawn but sorry coulodnt see the name of the tall grass, think some of the tags had got hidden with growth, look forward to going again some time ,thanx agin for the lovely comments :o))

Thanks Sandra for the picture of grass - loved it very much :):):)

The grass is Stipa I think :):)

your welcome paul :o) thanx for name im sure dawn will be looking at getting one lol

It looks a stunning place San and your photos show it off so well ,I will remember the name for when we are up that way another time ,I won't forget it because the last village we lived in was Little Dunham , the story goes that God made the earth it was finished except for a handful , he threw it down and said " there you are that's Dunham " LOL......

That looks an interesting place, love the old tree trunk. It seemed to have faces on it!

I love the tree trunk to ,lovely to paint :))

Thanks for the lovely pictures - everything is coming into life now isn't it ?

The problem with visiting historic houses and gardens is often the cost - although nice to visit it can become an expensive visit - definately has to be a treat day out.

Always a pleasure to join you San x

Glad there was no rain for you two ... those Hellebores are gorgeous planted en masse like that ... love the Silver Birches too ... and the Snowflakes ... actually I loved it all! I know what you mean about seeing it every couple of weeks ... how lovely that would be to see the buds open into flower. Tell Baz you MUST return .... lol! : o ))

Thanks for showing these photos of your day out. It's a wonderful place and glad you enjoyed. I enjoyed too lol. That lake with the trees is fabulous !

This looks a fabulous place, I love to see plants growing in big drifts . The tree is amazing !

lol amy hope you get to go its worth a trip ;o))
thanx Tog i loved the tree trunk to, there were about 3 of them, amazing :o))
thanx sue, thats a thought umm :o))
marie your so right, we should have joined when we were there because its £83 couple and then if you join when there they knock the cost of that day and car park off, but we were so tired after we just got in the car and forgot :o(( of well never mind.
aww thanx val and so glad you came :o))
lol shirley iv already told him haha and each year its going to look even better as everything spreads, wonderful ;o))
hywel the lake is fab and it runs off into stream banks thats where we saw the large carp swimming, glad you came to lol :o))
cheers judy i agree when planted in mass they look fab, and i just love trees, always want to hug them ;o))

Great photos San, so glad you had a nice day, I am still in shock at paying £5 to park the car and then £10 admission fee, thats outrageous,

Lovely pics sandra.. looks a lovely place to visit..... glad you had a nice day out...

Thanks for taking us around the beautiful gardens Sandra it was really like being there. In the summer there would probably be a lot of different flowers growing there :-)

thanx yorkshire, the standard price is £9.60 each i think but they ask if you want to pay £10 and the rest goes to the funding, not being tight but i think they have a cheek asking for extra at them prices and also paying for carpark is to much, when you think about how many people pass through them gates each day, they make a fortune, couldnt do it all the time but did enjoy it :o))
cheers holly it was a nice place and alot go there who live close just to walk in the deer park with their dogs and family, nice to have that so close, cristina lives only 10 mins walk from there but didnt have chance to arrange a meeting this time but will in future :o)

hi richard and thankyou for joining me on the tour, its lovely and im sure you would like it, if your ever near you must visit :o))

Lovely day out San, what gorgeous flowers and those Hellebores, to die for. Love the old tree barks, bet they could tell a tale or two!!!

I really am glad you enjoyed your day San, but I still find the prices outrageous,

lol san......... nextime you will have to park at the back of the swan pub , thats wot we do haha its just a 2 min walk then in to the deer park ............ i have some pics on my page some where and not sure if theres a blog ............... will have to look lol xx

thanx Grandmage those trees were amazing and bet your right ;o))
i totaly agree yorkshire ;o)
cristina thats the prblem when you havent been somewhere before but look forward to seeing your pics if you find them :o)

Good set of pics Sandra :o)

thanx for looking Terra, glad you like them :o))

Lovely blog Sandra, isn't that tree trunk marvellous. I'd love to have a bed of hellebores like that too if I had a big garden. I don't blame you passing up the hotpot, I went to a garden centre the other day and thought I would buy a small slice of apple pie and a cuppa. Cuppa £1.50 ...pie slice £2.40....changed my mind, could buy a plant for that lol:-)

lol linda i dont blame you either, its daylight robbery haha
baz said we will start to pack a pinic in future, glad you enjoyed the pics :o)

went 4 a walk other nite in dunham with dog ............. all the babies were there and a lovely stag !!!! , not stay long as it was going dark !!! joined my boys in the pub fo drinkies lol ;0))))

sounds great cristina did you take your camera? i bet you forgot haha, drinkies after sounds good to :o))
