Shugborough on a spring day

Recently we went to our local National Trust property of Shugborough. This visit was at the time that the daffodils were finishing (although some varieties were still in full bloom) and the tulips were taking over. The landscape was reflecting the glories of an English spring with the leaves of the trees showing various shades of yellow or green as they opened. Here is a selection of photos from this visit:

The first photo is of one of the daffodils that was in full bloom showing the context with a couple of walkers with their dogs in the middle distance and the mansion just visible in the far distance:

As always, we enjoy our walks around the estate, complemented with a visit to the tea-room!
