    Is Sledmere House a National Trust Stately Home?...I'll look it up. But have a lovely time there and hope the weather's ok for wandering around. It's grey and 'mizzly' here in Somerset!

    Have fun today!
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    We all enjoyed it. I loved the walled gardens, have a ridiculous number of photos of flowers on my phone! I was lucky enough to snap 4 different species of butterfly too!

    Glad you enjoyed it. We get quite a few butterflies in our garden. Have you got a Budlea (Budlia?) bush in your garden? If not, try and get hold of one from your garden centre...they look like Lilac bushes. When the flowers come out butterflies of all description flock to them and smother the bush,,,you'll get all sorts of exotic ones landing on it. Glad you had a nice time.

    Bees love them too! My new buddliea is flowering for the first time - I thought it was purple, it’s white!
