This property has the most wonderful ecosystem on its boundaries, and I do hope it doesn't change hands any time soon. It also has a super garden and a vegetable plot as well.
The new money jet-wash everything into oblivion, have ensuites even in the baby's bedroom, use a dishwasher for 2 coffee cups, drive at least two Chelsea tractors, pave the garden and have their imported veg delivered to the door.
Oops..I nearly got started there, sorry.
Near Wychbold, Worcestershire. As I was saying yesterday - if you walk the fields in flat country you tend to notice the small things more - like moss and last summer's vegetation in skeleton form on wooden gateposts as they grow hollow from the middle out, and a century's graffiti on a capped sandstone post.

Reference Number: 13000949
The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost are being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C for their excellent representation of the Tudor Revival architectural style and under Criterion C for their contribution to the development of the Westmoreland Heights Subdivision as the source of water and electricity prior to city services. The Westmoreland Wheelhouse (built in 1923) and the Gatepost (built in 1925) were designed by noted local architect Charles I. Barber of the firm Barber and McMurry. Prominent local landscape architect, Charles F. Lester provided the landscape design for the structures. The Water Wheel is a steel overshot wheel purchased by Edward T. Manning, President of the Tennessee Mill & Mine Supply Company from the Fitz Water Wheel Company of Hanover, Pennsylvania and installed by R.A. Calloway, an employee with the Tennessee Mill & Mine Supply Company. The use of East Tennessee marble is the most notable exterior architectural feature of these structures; other architectural materials worth mentioning are wood, slate, and iron. The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost retain a high degree of architectural integrity and are an excellent example of the Tudor Revival style in Knox County and meet the requirements of the National Register of Historic Places. The Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost also meet the registration requirements in the Historic and Architectural Resources of Knoxville and Knox County, Tennessee Multiple Property Listing under the historic context of Suburban Growth and Development in Knoxville, 1861-1940.

This gate-house stands at the western end of Workington Hall grounds. The Curwen's crest of a unicorn's head once again appears atop the pillar. Unfortunately a hideous modern building has been erected on this side of the drive meaning that the matching pillar is no more.
You get some big bugs in Florida, but these locusts adorning a pair of Pasadena gateposts take some beating.

These gateposts are all that survive of the Derwent village Vicarage. It survived for a couple of years after the rest of the village was demolished in the mid-1940s to make way for Ladybower Reservoir, but the Vicarage was finally knocked down in the late 1940s.
A pre-booked visit to Westbury Court Garden in Gloucestershire. Was a rainy couple of hours. The garden was quite small, but the rain eventually stopped.
Westbury Court Garden is a Dutch water garden in Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, England, 9 miles (14 km) southwest of Gloucester.
It was laid out in 1696–1705, a rare survival not to have been replaced in the 18th century by a naturalistic garden landscape as popularised by Capability Brown. It is situated facing the high street of the rural village, extending on low-lying water meadows adjacent to the River Severn; the flat watery ground makes the site well suited to a Dutch-style garden, of which Westbury is the outstanding survival in Britain.
Saw these Gatepost sculptures from the Long Canal. At least two of them near the main entrance gate.

Our first evening in Florence, we got there a bit too late to go to a restaurant. So we took sandwiches with us from the airport and had on the coach.
The next evening we went to a local restaurant recommended by our tour manager. Not too far a walk from the hotel.

A visit to The Laskett Gardens. Was a listening device to hear the thoughts of the original gardener who lived here, Sir Roy Strong. And created with his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman.
The Laskett Gardens, near Much Birch, Herefordshire, England, were created by Sir Roy Strong and Julia Trevelyan Oman. The couple purchased and moved to the rural property in 1973 and, over the next thirty years, built the garden from scratch.
In 2015 Strong announced that he would bequeath the property to the Gardeners' Royal Benevolent Society (Perennial). Perennial accepted the gift in 2021.

Named after the viewing gallery which straddles a mound of turf and from which views can be had both of the countryside beyond and of the garden below with its knot garden of yew & dwarf euonymous flanked by symmetrical planting of malus floribunda and two fountains.
House
The house was built about 1835 and purchased by Sir Roy and his late wife in 1973.
Over the decades it has been considerably enlarged and, from 2003 on, embellished with pilasters and plaques to provide character to an otherwise anonymous building.
Entrance gatepost statues with the initials RS (Roy Strong) and JTO (Julia Trevelyan Oman).
