This visit on 27th February coincided with the end of the winter’s heat wave. Time to dust off and polish the classic vehicles and venture forth in temperatures of 17/18 degrees!
Having had some excellent quality food in the ‘Old Barn’ we went for a stroll through the gardens. (Anyone thinking about eating in the café – you need to take cash as there is no provision for cards!)
Due to the hot weather most of the Snowdrops had withered but these had been replaced with a colourful display of Daffodils and Crocus.
Time to sit and reflect in the peaceful Lincolnshire countryside.
Not all the colour was floral. The Dogwoods also gave a colourful backdrop contrasting with the silver bark of the Birches.
Of course – I’d arranged for a ‘fly past’ by the Red Arrows to celebrate our visit!!!!

Our tickets allowed us to visit the church at Saxby designed by Capability Brown – very impressive. Well worth a view if in the area
