Last month, as part of our trip to East Anglia, we visited the National Trust property of Anglesey Abbey. It was a beautiful sunny spring day – one of an unusual series of fine days for this time of the year. This enabled me to take a variety of photos around the extensive grounds of the estate. Here are a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following one of the paths through the small woodland we came across this stand of silver birch trees where the leaf buds were just starting to open. I loved the way they contrasted with the clear deep blue sky:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amongst the silver birch there were patches of species tulip carpeting the ground. This shows one clump at the base of a birch tree:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scattered around the ground were a number of ‘Shaun the Sheep’ statues all decorated differently, each with a child-friendly joke on the base. These were provided as an Easter attraction for young families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various walks and avenues through the estate. This one shows an amazing avenue of Chestnuts trees fresh in leaf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have visited many stately homes but the house at Anglesey Abbey is the most ‘homely’ we have found (with a ‘Shaun the Sheep by the door):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This house has a lot of architectural details (or ‘fiddly bits’ as I like to call them). Here is one example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
