A Day at Newby Hall
We visited Newby Hall, an eighteenth-century country house, on a lovely day, and most of our time was spent exploring the gardens. My favourite was the autumn garden, with its hydrangeas and dahlias filling the walled garden with colour. The long herbaceous border leading towards the house was also beautiful, with flowers stretching into the distance.
At one point I spotted a little bee sitting on the ground, so I carefully picked him up and put him back onto one of the flowers. I also loved wandering through the rock garden, which has its own little waterfall tucked among the plants.
We had a look around the house too. I didn't take any photographs inside as I'm never quite sure what the rules are in historic houses, but there were some lovely rooms to see. As usual, the library was one of my favourites, particularly the lovely blue ceiling.
