Wimpole Hall

I broke my rule and visited a National Trust property in the school holidays yesterday.

The walled garden was looking lovely and it was nice to see butterflies. Given the cars in the car park I'm assuming they went to the farm.

This one wouldn't open its wings... it's a Peacock 

As I got back to the stables the procession of families inbound was growing.

It was a nice walk my one miserable old git gripe is that walking back to the car park multiple families walking towards me took the entire path and forced me on the grass.. given you can easily walk 4 abreast this is a bit poor.

On the butterfly front I've seen marbled white on my walks and the ducklings are all still there 🙂
