I don't know whats stopped me from attending to my blog up to now, certainly not the weather which had us inside for so much of the early part of this year. However its now almost spring and I need to be getting on with the garden here at Castleton House as well as in my allotment. Apart from that I'll be busy training and fundraising for my bike ride in Rajasthan this November, all in aid of the British Heart Foundation.
With the clocks going back this coming weekend and the promise of warmer weather most of the local attractions will be open full time. We enjoyed a day at Montacute House which is only 30 minutes from here, not only is the Elizabeathen Architecture quite amazing, the gardens will be glorious during the summer and it also houses a number of paintings owned by the National Portrait Gallery the photos above give just a glimpse of all there is to enjoy.
