It’s Monday, my grown up day where I try to get as many of the household jobs out of the way so I can spend the rest of the week doing the camera stuff I like. It doesn’t always go to plan obviously but you have to show willing. The sun was up and the birds were bouncing around the feeding table and perhaps it took me a bit longer […]
A favourite feature of Astley Hall and park is the walled garden to the rear of the hall. Once it would have been the provider of fresh produce through the year for the hall and it’s inhabitants.
