Assistant Gardener Jo winding the clock mechanism up.
Come and join us for Tea?
Come for a picnic and grab a cuppa from our restaurant!
Cranking things up….. the clock mechanism within the East Pavilion – a Gardener’s job is never done!
In the woodland today, a Brimstone Butterfly.
In the log pile today, a Common Frog
Near the woodland bench today, a Border Collie
Feel free to picnic anywhere in the garden, as many did today.
We’ve been short-listed as one of ten top National Trust picnic locations in the region.
Meander around the Meadow around the close mown paths, taking in the views to and from the House.
Have a closer look at our wildflower Meadow, just enjoy our open space and don’t forget to picnic!
These weren’t the only handsome beasts on the South Downs Way over the last week…..
L-R: Charles, Steve, Andy (er..me!) Andrew, Mike and Owen last Friday prior to the Winchester, Hampshire to Uppark, West Sussex leg.
On the Saturday we cycled from Uppark to Beddingham, East Sussex (near Lewes) Mike dipped out near Brighton for a Dinner engagement – how civilised! I dipped out at Beddingham (bike malfunction rather than rider malfunction!) Congratulations to all but especially to Charles, Steve, Owen, Andrew and Paul (not pictured) for completing the route – a handsome achievement!
A beautiful day and we said “Goodbye” to Terry, for the moment at least….
Our House team joined us to say farewell to Terry.
Terry, Sam and Hannah
Terry and Jo enjoying the sunshine at lunchtime.
We shall all miss you, thanks for all your hard work and wonderful humour! Enjoy your retirement and you’re always welcome here.
