On Day 74, as the lockdown eased, we took
the opportunity of a garden visit. As members of the Historic Houses
Association we were fortunate to be allowed to be part of the restricted group
to visit the grounds of Newby Hall in North Yorkshire.
The gardens were just transitioning from
late Spring to early Summer plants. Our picnic lunch was taken on one of the many
benches with a delightful view.

This trip wouldn't have been out of the ordinary in the old normal, but we were really appreciative of the time spent here in the present situation. We hope to return later in the year to revisit
the Autumn Garden and the long herbaceous border in their full glory.

What a privilege to be allowed into the gardens! Newby Hall looks as beautiful as I remember it from my - so far - first and only visit a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI have many happy memories of visits to Newby Hall, to the playground when my children were small and walking slowly through the beautiful gardens with my parents in their old age. Such a lovely place.
