Day 80 - March 21st

In between lots of cutting and gluing I went for a wander around Easthampstead Park today to have a closer look at the house and grounds.


Easthampstead Park is a Victorian Mansion House built in a Jacobean Style. As well as being a conference centre it is also a popular wedding venue (two weddings have taken place whilst we have been here) and must be a beautiful backdrop for wedding photos. 




I didn't see many flowers in bloom in the garden although there were lots of what I think were Rhododendrons and which I guess will look stunning when in flower. I did spot this tiny blue flower hiding in a corner by the wall.


In the middle ages, Easthampstead was part of Windsor Forest and was reserved for royal hunting. King Edward III had a hunting lodge at Easthampstead. The house is still surrounded by lots of trees including quite a few fir and pine trees.
