We went to Tatton Park earlier this week on a sunny day, and I thought you might like to take a look at some photos!

Beautiful miniature daffodils!

Monument near the lake - Tatton is near an airport, and I caught this photo as an aircraft had recently taken off!

They are having a BFG exhibition soon - we found the man himself lurking in the greenhouse!

It was my favourite kind of day - sunny and cold :)

Looks like the clock on the planter is stuck at 20 to 5 though :p

Lovely pics! I liked the cala lily in the end, so pretty. I had one of those not so long ago, sadly my mom threw it away just last year without even telling me :( I was so sad, but I hope I can get one in the Netherlands. Lovely place as well, hoping to visit those gardens you people are always talking about on here someday :)

Those are some amazing pictures and it looks like the garden tenders to an amazing job making everything look perfect. I really wished I lived somewhere different as there are so many ancient buildings all over the world that I can never explore. Here in America, I think the oldest buildings we have are from the 1700s and you have to go back east to see those.
