It wasn't a good week as far as the weather went, cold and wet, I think you are getting bored with me telling you this. Heavy rain on Friday night, but we knew better things were on the way!
Saturday morning - much warmer but fresh, a good time for an early walk.
Stourhead is the nearest National Trust property to us, and so we visit often. Those of you who have been following my blog for some time, have seen pictures from here before.
"That" bridge
and the Temple of Apollo,
both of them "played" their role in the film "Pride and Prejudice" ( the later version, with Keira Knightley).
It is a time "in between" as far as plants go, the spring flush of colour now gone and the autumn colour a long way away, so colour here is mainly green, but here and there are some unusual plants and trees.
and some more views

Cottages by the entrance to the gardens, one of them is a holiday cottage, which you can rent for your holiday.
The entrance to the courtyard where you can find The Spread Eagle Inn
and an art gallery, in front of which were some interesting exhibits.
Of course we can not miss out the National Trust shop on the way out. Needless to say that we went home with another addition to our garden!

Saturday night and our two grandchildren are staying for a sleepover!

Sunday morning - at last we have SUMMER! And BBQ weather!
Grandchildren have gone home and DH and I are recovering:
