Blickling Hall is a stately home which is part of the Blickling estate. It is located in the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England and has been in the care of the National Trust since 1940
Cliveden
(aka Cliveden House)
There have been three houses on the site.
The first house, built in 1666, burned down in 1795. The second house, built in 1824, burned down in 1849. The present house, built in 1851, by the architect Charles Barry for the 2nd Duke of Sutherland.
Cliveden has been the home to a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and finally the Viscounts Astor. As the home of Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, Cliveden was the meeting place of the Cliveden Set of the 1920s and 1930s—a group of political intellectuals.
Later, during the early 1960s, when it was the home of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it became the setting for key events of the notorious Profumo affair.
The house was passed to The National Trust in 1942 with the condition that the family would continue to live there.
The Astor family stopped living at Cliveden in the 1970s.
The house is surrounded by 376 acres of gardens and woodland that are always open to National Trust visitors.
The house is currently on lease to a company that operates the estate as a luxurious, five-star, Relais & Châteaux hotel and is generally not open to National Trust Visitors.

The Clock Tower
by Henry Clutton, London
1861
A prominent and historical landmark located in the grounds of Cliveden.
Described by the architectural critic Nikolaus Pevsner as "the epitome of Victorian flamboyance and assertiveness."
Commissioned by the 2nd Duke of Sutherland, who owned Cliveden at that time.
The tower was part of the Duke’s vision to enhance the grandeur of the estate and to illustrate his wealth and status.
Originally intended to serve as a water tower supplying water to the estate. Over time it became more of an ornamental feature but it is still a functional water tower that provides water to the house.
The structure is built in the Italianate style and is notable for its elaborate design and the use of gold leaf.
Topped with a gilded ball and a weathervane which adds to the decorative appeal.
The clock was made by the famous clockmaker James McCabe of the London firm McCabe & Sons.
The tower stands at 100 ft making it a prominent feature on the estate’s skyline.
Grade II* Listed
Taken during our daytrip to the Isle of Canna, which is located a couple of hours sail off the West coast of Scotland. Along with it's major neighbouring islands Muck, Eigg and Rum, the Isle of Canna and it's partially attached neighbour Sanday make up the group of Scottish islands known as the "small isles".
Canna was one of the first locations added to our holiday plan for May of this year, as the island is one of the two locations out on Scotlands islands that my ancestors came from (only a couple of generations ago). Once the boat had docked and we set foot on the island, much like we've felt on the Outer Hebrides, it definitely felt like I was back home, myself and Mireille will most certainly be back to visit again!
The Isle of Canna is the westernmost of the small isles which themselves are part of the inner hebrides. The Isles of Canna and Sanday were left by their previous owner, John Lorne Campbell to the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) in 1981. A massive thanks to the residents and NTS team on the island for our enjoyable visit in May, and we look forward to seeing you all again to find out more of the family history!

These houses are not allowed to have wheelie bins for their recycling. The council/cleaning company say it is for obscure operational reasons.
But the way they collect the normal rubbish bags is to put them into their own wheelie bins (identical design. Different colour) to take them to the dustcart.
I am still confused.

1566 arrives at Carrog on 28 May 2022. Trains were full all day and that's great news for the Llangollen Railway Trust.
I wanted a clean shot without the people, but didn't have much time to wait for it to clear, and more people were going in.
