winter walk
It's tradition to go for a walk on boxing day. Most of the photos I took were of my family and I messing about, climbing trees etc. and this blog is faceless, but I have a couple to show you:-

Stowe part 1
I went to Stowe a couple of weekends ago, but I took far too many photos and I've been putting off editing them. So many photos in fact, that I'm spreading them over two posts.

Autumn walk at Audley End
A couple of weeks ago I visited Audley End, a grand 17th Century house just outside Saffron Walden. The weather was perfectly autumnal and the grounds were full of colour.
Originally a Benedictine monastery, Audley End was entirely rebuilt by Thomas Howard between 1605 and 1614. The house is currently undergoing large restoration work, with most of the facade hidden by scaffolding. The gardens are still worth a visit, as they offer views of unspoilt Essex countryside as well as formal and kitchen gardens.
Plus its fun to play in the leaves!

We were lucky that some of the flowers were still in bloom.
