    Yesterday I went to Felbrigg Hall, a National Trust property in Norfolk. The weather stayed fine although the sun was reluctant to come out. We had a lovely afternoon making friends with Punch and Judy the resident donkeys and admiring the lovely flowers still in bloom in the large walled garden.

    Punch and Judy the resident donkeys were really friendly and they're partial to Polo mints.

    The dovecote is quite impressive slightly larger than in the average garden!

    Still plenty of colour in the dahlia bed.

    In one of the glasshouses we came across this fancy fowl.

    Nice collection of pictures Petal, I like the warts and all approach, behind the scenes, makes the series of pictures complete.
