The sun had got its hat on, a perfect excuse for me to visit the walled garden at Attingham Park. I arrived in time for lunch which I enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine.

Powis Castle
St David’s Day was the perfect opportunity to visit Powis Castle for lunch before a walk round the house and gardens. Later there was an opportunity for a naughty cake (almond slice) in the café next to the Ludlow food centre.
