Ascot House and Gardens

I ventured out all by myself the other day (I hate going anywhere on my own.... such a wus!!) I even got chatting to an lovely old 'young' gentlemen and encouraged him to join us on flickr with some of his flower pictures. :-)

 

Hope you are all well and got off to a good start this week.

 

This half-timbered Jacobean farmhouse, transformed by the de Rothschilds towards the end of the 19th century, now houses an exceptional collection of paintings, fine furniture and superb oriental porcelain.

 

The extensive gardens are an attractive mix of formal and natural, with specimen trees and shrubs and some unusual features.
