I thought it is best to make another post for this, I didn't want to make the previous one too long.
I must admit I don't like to read too long post on other blogs.
It is the school half term here in UK, and it has become a family tradition to have a picnic with our grandchildren at Barrington Court (NT); we "discovered" this Tudor property when the children were small, it was very safe place for them to run around and explore, including the house, which is empty of furniture. We missed out last year of course, but now we can do it.
Although the grandchildren are teenagers now, they still enjoy the picnic. There is lots of space for it, including a large grass area right in front of the main house.
We also always visit their second hand book shop (in the converted stables), which is now open and needless to say we came home with some books.
The house itself is not yet open and numbers of visitors still limited, so pre-booking is recommended.
Just a few pictures from the grounds:
lots of colour around in the very sheltered walled gardens.
It was so nice to spend a day with our daughter and grandchildren, it felt quite "normal".
Great pictures Radka. xx
