I think I would love the secret garden - there are definitely going to be fairies in there. The building looks like Hogwarts (Harry Potter) type of style and I can't imagine anything better than a night alone locked in the candlelit library, reading ancient books on who knows what? medicinals, ancient folklore? maybe the odd ghost would lurk in the shadows. What a fabulous place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous day out, Thanks for sharing the pictures x
