Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Do not let your peace depend on the hearts of others; whatever they say about you, good or bad, you are not because of it another, for as you are, you are.

Thomas A Kempis

Dudmaston Estate

Enchanted wooded parkland, sweeping gardens and a house with a surprise, Dudmaston is something unexpected in the Shropshire countryside. A much loved home for over 875 years you will find the family rooms scattered with photos and perhaps an odd pair of shoes or two peeping out from under a table. The unexpected galleries create a total contrast, with their formal, crisp lines. They were designed by the last owner, Rachel, Lady Labouchere, to house her and her husband’s differing modern and traditional collections of art for the visitor to peruse.

The gardens provide amazing vistas and tranquillity while the orchard is the perfect place to relax and for the children to let off steam. For more stunning views and getting up close to nature head to Big Pool and Dingle woods, while the wider estate provides extensive walking routes for year round enjoyment.

A Change in the Weather

By the time I had done the circuit of the pool some rain clouds had gathered and it started spotting with rain. I retreated to the tea room and had a glass of cranberry presse and no I didn’t have anything else

Privilege Day

CherryPie — Tue, 31 May 2011 18:15:50 +0000

I was lucky enough to have an extra privilege days leave which was tagged onto this bank holiday meaning I had an extra day off. I also took Friday as leave so I have had a long weekend, mostly chilling out and catching up with a few jobs. The weather wasn’t good enough for days out.

Today however I managed to dodge the rain showers and spend a couple of hours at the Dudmaston Estate. I decided to do the pool walk and take in the gardens rather than tour the house. I must go back again soon and perhaps go on one of the guided garden walks which should be very interesting.
