I think you would enjoy it, especially the Church which is not part of the English Heritage property but very much part of the history.

There are one or two although they are not as fashionable as they used to be.

Grounds laid out this way – would we get that from today’s landscape gardeners?

It is a lovely fountain, I hope they get the funds to restore it.

Australia sounds such a beautiful place and I shall look forward to your blog and seeing your photographs when it is ready. Australia is a place I have never been so it will be nice to be introduced to it through someone who lives there.

The expense of preserving and maintaining these wonderful places must be huge, and explains why there has to be an entry charge. I do wish that I had taken the opportunity to visit rather more of these historic sites when I had the opportunity. There is obviously nothing comparable here in Australia but nevertheless it is a beautiful country with some of the most remarkable scenery. Sydney is a breathtakingly gorgeous city and I feel so privileged to be able to live and work here. I miss England, it’s where I was born and raised, but on balance, I feel content to be here.

Stupidly, I’ve probably travelled over far more of this country than I have my own.
I have lived in Perth and Melbourne and visited all the major cities. I’ve seen the outback and the snowfields. The sheer size and variety of this continent country is a little overwhelming.

Anyway, for lots of reasons, I have decided to start my own blog. I have so many photographs to share and a few things that I would like to say, issues that are important to me. I’ll let you know when I get everything up and running. It would be lovely if you could drop by.

I went to Castle Howard many years ago, I am due another visit

This garden is to the side, the other garden I posted is to the rear.

Is this the rear garden?!

Have you been to Castle Howard?
This place reminded me a lot of Castle Howard, minus the ruins, of course. ;o)
