Born in a library, probably drinking coffee ☕️

We're marking Remembrance Day at the places in our care. From the handmade poppies at Tredegar House and the knitted and crocheted poppy display at Kedleston, to the silhouettes in the Avenue of Remembrance at Wentworth Castle Gardens, we will remember them.

A wicker horse in a stable with a cascade of red poppies pouring from its saddle, pooling into the floor and dotted with candlesA close-up of the red poppies on the wicker back of a horse, delicately fixed to gauze-like materialA cascade of knitted poppies in red, white, purple and black in a church, with stained glass behind them and the gleaming pipes of an organ on the righthand side.Silhouettes of soldiers holding weapons lined up on a lawn with a grand stately home in the background and rolling hills beyond that. There is an autumnal feel in the golden bushes and misty horizon

Since Wednesday, I've had a bad week. The mechanic took my car out for a test drive , and someone crashed into my car. It's being assessed now - ( have a hire car ).. either repairable or a prob wrote off . I'm gutted. It looks like I need another car. Will find out Mon 🤞

A glimpse into a distant time when this isle was a land of giants. Castell Henllys Iron Age Village, Pembrokeshire, Wales, is beautifully situated in fine wooded countryside; from a distance, it gives the impression that ancient folk still live here and that we’re somehow intruding on their privacy.

Reconstruction of an Iron Age camp of large thatched round houses situated amid trees on a hillside. A field is seen in the foreground while the sky is grey above. One of the thatched round houses is bigger than the others.
