Temple Newsam

Over the last week of February I visited Temple Newsam.

Temple Newsam, a country estate in the heart of Leeds. The best way to explore the estate is on foot, taking in the stunning sights of the 1500 acres of Capability Brown landscaped gardens, woodland and park areas.

Temple Newsam is famous as the birth place of Lord Darnley, the notorious husband of Mary Queen of Scots, it’s been described as one of the best heritage properties in Britain.

Bloomin’ Windy!

First Storm Douglas, then Eunice and now Franklin – I’m bloomin’ fed up of been blown about & freezing cold! Today I have cleaning up the greenhouse ready to start planting some seeds.

I found the most cutest little nest in one of my growbags (probably a field mouse). It was made from dried grass and my Honesty Seed cases then I had kept in the greenhouse to dry. I have taken some pictures but you can’t really get to see the beauty of it without destroying it. I will upload them tomorrow.
