Packwood House is a timber-framed Tudor manor house near Lapworth, Warwickshire. Owned by the National Trust since 1941, the house is a Grade I listed building. It has a wealth of tapestries and fine furniture, and is known for the garden of ancient yews.
History
The house began as a modest timber-framed farmhouse constructed for John Fetherston between 1556 and 1560. The last member of the Fetherston family died in 1876.[3] In 1904, and the house was purchased by Birmingham industrialist Alfred Ash.[4] It was inherited by Graham Baron Ash (Baron in this case being a name not a title) in 1925,[3] who spent the following two decades creating a house of Tudor character. He purchased an extensive collection of 16th- and 17th-century furniture, some obtained from nearby Baddesley Clinton. The great barn of the farm was converted into a Tudor-style hall with sprung floor for dancing, and was connected to the main house by the addition of a Long Gallery in 1931.[5]
In 1941, Ash donated the house and gardens to the National Trust in memory of his parents but continued to live in the house until 1947 when he moved to Wingfield Castle.[6]
Gardens
The famous Yew Garden containing over 100 trees was laid out in the mid-17th century by John Fetherston, the lawyer. The clipped yews are supposed to represent "The Sermon on the Mount". Twelve great yews are known as the "Apostles" and the four big specimens in the middle are 'The Evangelists'. A tight spiral path lined with box hedges climbs a hummock named "The Mount". The single yew that crowns the summit is known as "The Master". The smaller yew trees are called "The Multitude" and were planted in the 19th century to replace an orchard.
The Yew Garden is entered by raised steps and a wrought-iron gate. The garden path follows an avenue of trees, which leads up a spiral hill[1] where a wooden seat is placed beneath a yew tree. This vantage point provides views of the house and the Yew Garden.[5]
Some of the yews at Packwood are taller than 50 feet (15 m).[7] The soil on the estate has a high level of clay, which is detrimental to the trees during wet periods. As a result, parts of the garden are often closed to the public while restoration work is undertaken[7] The house and gardens are open to the public throughout the whole year as of 2013.

Our middle cat, TJ must be the most curious feline on the planet. He investigates everything, and wants to see firsthand whatever is going on in our house. He's a good companion to me and my husband, and follows us around and asks to see and smell anything we touch. But when it comes to other people, TJ has no interest. He positively hates when we have guests in our home. He instantly runs and hides and stays hidden until the guests leave, no matter how long that takes. As soon as they are gone, TJ reappears as if nothing has happened.
Except for Bert. Our friend Bert has this mysterious relationship with TJ that no other human besides my husband and I have ever experienced. TJ simply loves Bert, and trusts Bert to be gentle with him and give him quality loving when he visits us.
I captured these pics of Bert and TJ in our hallway on New Year's Eve. TJ had been hiding under the guest room bed, but when he realized it was Bert in the hallway, he came out to greet him and rub his legs, as if to say "Long time no see, buddy!". And I just had to capture the special moment with my camera.

I was drinking coffee with Abby yesterday and the postman arrived. Elsie clambered on to the large basket by the window whilst Abby dealt with the post. Then, Abby encouraged Elsie to jump into her arms. Usually Elsie is picked up and swirled round, but this jump required Elsie to trust her mother to catch her before being whirled through the air. By the time I had my camera ready they were on jump 2 or 3 . . . there were about 8 in all. This little series is of the moments in between the jumps
Since we fought I been
Healing from the things that happen
And when I'm with you I lie that I'm alright
I never said if I even...
Trust
Sadly enough I can't believe you
Sometimes I do
But when I ask you if your okay
You just say "nothing's wrong"
Why do I feel like something is wrong
Can't you even trust me again?
Trust
Even if you do
I don't
Since the fight I just lost it
Trust
Is the main thing I want
No love, No nothing
Just...
Trust
I need to hear it from you and honesty
Everything else can wait
Trust
I want to hear it please
Tell me the truth...
(poem I made)
Sometimes it's hard to entrust what's precious to us to God. But God works in the midst of brokenness to bring healing, restore relationships, and work for the good of all who place their trust in God.
A visit to the National Trust property Plas Newydd on the Isle of Anglesey. The seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey.
Plas Newydd is a country house set in gardens, parkland and surrounding woodland on the north bank of the Menai Strait, in Llanddaniel Fab, near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales. The current building has its origins in 1470, and evolved over the centuries to become one of Anglesey's principal residences. Owned successively by Griffiths, Baylys and Pagets, it became the country seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey, and the core of a large agricultural estate. The house and grounds, with views over the strait and Snowdonia, are open to the public, having been owned by the National Trust since 1976.
From its earliest known resident in 1470, Plas Newydd passed by inheritance and marriage through 500 years of a family's increasing concentration of wealth, titles and estates, until the 7th Marquess of Anglesey presented it to the National Trust, so that the house and grounds could be opened to the public.
Plas Newydd is a Grade I listed building.
A look around the inside of the house.

Waterloo Cavalry Museum. The 1st Marquess of Anglesey served at the Battle of Waterloo as the number two to the Duke of Wellington. Various artefacts from 1815 are in these rooms.
cabinet including the 1st Marquess of Anglesey's false leg!
He was shot in the leg at the Battle of Waterloo, and later had to have it amputated (no anaesthetic at that time). That wooden leg was what replaced his lost leg!
