Sunday scenery

This week’s Sunday scenery pictures were taken yesterday, when I went to Audley End House with my beloved, my dad and my nephew. The place is absolutely magical and well worth a visit,

One of my favourite things about the place is the hedges. They call them cloud hedges, as they are shaped like massive green clouds. I felt like a 9 year old, when I looked up and saw the roofs with their gilded weather vanes above the hedge. I wanted to be “Sleeping beauty” and be woken by a gorgeous prince. I looked to my left and saw my beloved. He didn’t protest when I gave him a wee peck on the beak. :)

The gardens around Audley End House have an amazing amount of snowdrops. We walked for miles in the grounds and were absolutely shattered, when we eventually got home.

Oh my. A real fairytail castle and those hedges are wonderful. Also was taken by the lovely sight of all those snowdrops. Spring is still just but a whish over here.

Those are indeed clouds of green on the ground and the place looks absolutely enchanting! I can see why you would have wanted to be a Princess in a place like that!

Have a lovely Sunday!

Thank you all for your comments. I am still absolutely enchanted by the place. Will have to seek out places with cloud hedges from now on. Will do a bonsai version in my garden. :)

Monica - spring has sprung here in a big way, but heaven knows we could still get all sorts of crazy weather. March is so temperamental, as far as weather is concerned. Anyhow, we're enjoying it for now. :)
