Eaton Hall Gardens Charity Open Day

Today we experienced summer in the U.K, it was simply beautiful!

Everyone was in their summer finery (except us), today is cold and wet again. From one extreme to the next. I can see why the weather is often the topic of conversation here.

Entering the estate was a grand affair, the entrance/driveway was at least a kilometre. 

Buttercups and girls

We enjoyed strolling around, and soaked in the Little Big Band that was performing in the garden. We had a look at the carriage museum, family history room and stables.

There were various refreshment points and a cafe in the open courtyard. 

We were really there for the garden this time, the rhododendrons, azaleas were really looking good. If I knew the names of the other flowers I could tell you they were looking good also ;)

We meandered through the gardens and knew that Oma, Opa and Granny would all love to be there. There were plenty of bulbs still flowering in the grass. The Camellia Walk had over 60 varieties, which were in amazing condition given the wind the day before.

Holly just loves all of the dogs we see here
