Last Thursday I met up with my sister for a walk around Tyntesfield. We live less than 20 miles apart but we don’t get many chances for a day together. Various commitments just seem to get in the way. So it was a day of a lot of talking as well as walking. Once we were fuelled with a coffee we headed up into the woods past the summerhouse.
Then on through the woods which are beginning to look quite autumnal.
My last visit was quite soon after reopening after lockdown when we were required to keep strictly to the designated route. Things are a little more relaxed now and you can wander wherever you want to.
There was a little bit of sunshine struggling to shine through the leaves.
The wet warm weather has encouraged a variety of different fungus.
I have noticed in a lot of places and Tyntesfield is no exception that there are a lot of holly berries this year. That of course according to folklore means we have a cold hard winter ahead of us.
There were also berries in the kitchen garden too. These little red berries were all over the asparagus.
Autumn also means pumpkins and a display was being prepared in the Orangery.
Some prize winning specimens there.
The array of colour continued on our walk back through the gardens.
This could be my colour fix for now having just looked at how booked up places like Stourhead and Westonbirt are.
Love the display in the orangery. My tiny garden is full of berries and the birds are feasting on them, yes I agree, we are expecting a cold winter this year, we often miss any snow around so maybe this year we will see the white stuff.
ReplyDeleteLovely walk about. The veg display at the orangery is quite striking, I particularly like the wheat bundle.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Really like the array of squashes and apples. How beautiful!
