On Sunday we visited a National Trust building call Oxburgh Hall with some friends. It is described as a romantic, moated manor house built by the Bedingfield family in the 15th century. This is an image of a mirror within one of the reception rooms which caught my eye
Another return visit to Baddesley Clinton, this time in the middle of autumn, so lots of leaves on the ground.
Everything was open again, unlike the previous visit of summer 2020 (due to restrictions at the time).
In the Walled Garden.
One of the borders was stripped out as it had finished flowering, so looked a bit of a mess. But wouldn't be flowering again until the following spring.

a picture from early fall i had in my library... decided to post it.
kinda creepy... in a friendly way.
The garden team consists of the Head Gardener, Assistant Head Gardener and four full-time gardeners, aided by two National Trust trainees, a college placement and many volunteers.
Their aim is to present this natural paradise at its best to the 350,000 annual visitors, whilst also caring for the walled gardens and greenhouses near Stourhead House. Their challenge is to balance the needs of visitors with those of conservation.
The National Trust is a heritage and nature conservation charity and membership organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Trust was founded in 1895 by Octavia Hill, Sir Robert Hunter and Hardwicke Rawnsley to "promote the permanent preservation for the benefit of the Nation of lands and tenements (including buildings) of beauty or historic interest". It has since been given statutory powers, starting with the National Trust Act 1907. Historically, the Trust acquired land by gift and sometimes by public subscription and appeal, but after World War II the loss of country houses resulted in many such properties being acquired either by gift from the former owners or through the National Land Fund.
One of the largest landowners in the United Kingdom, the Trust owns almost 250,000 hectares (620,000 acres; 2,500 km2; 970 sq mi) of land and 780 miles (1,260 km) of coast. Its properties include more than 500 historic houses, castles, archaeological and industrial monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves. Most properties are open to the public for a charge (members have free entry), while open spaces are free to all. The Trust had an annual income of nearly £724 million in 2023/24, largely from membership subscriptions, donations and legacies, direct property income, profits from its shops and restaurants, and investments. It also receives grants from a variety of organisations including other charities, government departments, local authorities, and the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
I was very curious why he would be spreading the message during the 4th of July...
I did not go ask him .... If he ever sees this picture please feel free to tell me why.
Greensand Trust Volunteer day at the roadside nature reserve on the A507 near Ampthill Park 20/2/2018 TL023381
Hi everyone,
Thank you all for coming to the Verge Task. You did an amazing job and Bernard said it’s the most he remembers getting done there in one day!
I hope you all enjoyed it.
I believe you may be back at Ampthill Park on March 6th, so I hope to see you then!
Thanks again.Yours, Jamie Proud
Tim Spencer
Dear All,
I understand from Jamie that the task at the Ampthill Verge went well on Tuesday – thank you all for your hard work.
In a change from the published task schedule (yes another!), next Tuesday’s task (27th February) will be at Maulden Heath; meet at the Picnic Area at 10am.
Have a good weekend,
Tim Spencer
Hi all
Apologies for oversleeping the preceding week at Maulden Heath.
We had an excellent day at Ampthill Park despite the dull greyness most of the time with a few patches of sun in the last quarter. We did miss the usual cakes and donuts but I think I did see Messrs Clarke & Moffatt with a packet of Jaffa Cakes.
I was amazed at how much was cleared this time but it had helped that Jamie had cut the bank top for the full length of the reserve.
Not much wildlife to see through the smoke of Jane's slow to start fire but there were some nice lichens and while I was inspecting the NZ Pymy Weed Clearance and the hedge and ditchwork carried out on separate tasks I managed to snap a Great Spotted Woodpecker who was contemplating on a bough a little above me.
Snaps of all these as usual at www.flickr.com/photos/pitzys_pyx/39673086504/in/datetaken/ and left arrow clicks to www.flickr.com/photos/pitzys_pyx/25511622787/
On the news front I spoke to Colin A and he has to have an op at Papworth at sometime to be determined but he sends you all a big hellow that I am passing on.
Similarly Audrey B is a bit under the weather at the moment but is keeping wrapped up warm and cosy (and as always busy).
See you all on Tuesday. Wrap up warm.
