Day 108 - April 18th (Good Friday)


This morning we visited Wrest Park at Silsoe. Usually we drive there but today we decided to walk instead.


Passing some beautiful blossom on our way, we left the village and headed out into fields.





Passing through Gravenhurst we spotted more blossom trees.



After a short stretch we arrived in Wrest Park with the mansion house ahead of us.




The gardens surrounding the house were spectacular......





..... as was the Wisteria.




In the walled garden there were miniature tulips and cowslips.




After a brief refreshment stop we then left Wrest Park and headed back towards home.


Our return route took us through woodland and then fields.


A Peacock butterfly settled just long enough on the ground for me to photograph it.




These Wild Pansies were tiny.


Little finger for size.
