a day at Stourhead......

when the national trust flings wide its doors for a weekend of free romps around its properties, 
then you absolutely MUST take advantage of the opportunity and head to your nearest spot 
with a picnic and a few special people and enjoy a lovely spring day of exploring.....


{around every corner there was another surprise.....
something to take your breath away......}




{grottoes and statues......
magical and secret......}




{tiny cottages with old stone benches.......}


{and ever such old glass windows.....}


{knarly tree roots........}





{big books in the library.......}


{isaac's dream....... a library with a staircase on wheels for reaching all the books......}






just lovely......

endings and beginnings......
