Rufford
A day trip in late June 2001, just because it was a nearby National Trust property that we hadn't been to. There's a tendency to go an see places like this when on holiday, but not to go and see the ones near to where you live, so we thought we'd rectify this . . .
| Topiary (251Kb) Lots of time, effort and wear and tear on the clippers . . . |
| Topiary, close up (322Kb) Amazing what you can get a plant to do when you put your mind to it . . . |
| Squirrel Bush (297Kb) Speaking of which, here's one of a pair of shubbery squirrels. |
| Squirrels, with Hall (213Kb) And here's the pair of them, with the hall in the background. After all, we were here to see that, not boggle at the gardens. |
| The old Hall (219Kb) Another view of the hall through the impressive horticulture. |
| The New Wing (215Kb) 1662. The old wing is 15th Century. Some parts of the rest of the buildings are as new as the 1800's . . . |
| Old Tree (264Kb) A squirrels-eye view of the foliage. Taken just because it looked nice and green. |
