My blog friend Sue and husband Jim who live close by, had offered to take me out to visit a place of my choice. I was hoping to visit Godolphin House a very old National Trust property and where some of my relatives had worked in the tin mine on the property.
Another beautiful day as we set off on a Sunday morning. Many visitors were walking around the lovely gardens. The house was open, so I took the opportunity to visit while my friends sat in the sun and enjoyed a cup of tea/coffee.
The interior -
We strolled around the the gardens and walked part of the way up Godolphin Hill from where we could see the ruins of the old mine buildings.
On our way back to the car park, I was able to video bluebells in the woods, among soft green ferns. A delightful experience.
Nice photos
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIt is lovely that you had the opportunity to see a bluebell wood in flower - it is something that so many people hope to see, but getting the time right is crucial.
ReplyDeleteI have never visited Godolphin House, but it was lovely to be able to see your photos of it when everything was still very green and fresh this last spring.
It was a good time to visit, before the summer crowds. Yes, I loved the bluebell wood and all of the gardens. The countryside was very pretty as well, with wildflowers and bluebells among ancient stones and old Cornish Hedges.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful day, Betty. Your friends did well taking you out. I do love old houses and parks. Your photos show well the charm of this place. Your video is pretty one, I love bluebells as well, spring came to your place.
ReplyDeleteSo lucky to have a sunny day to visit this beautiful area. I find it difficult to choose just a few photos to show how pretty this place is. Glad that you could see it and enjoy as well Nadezda.
DeleteHello Dear Betty!
ReplyDeleteI love every picture of you. They are beautiful! I am glad that the weather was beautiful that day. I admire the huge wisteria. She is wonderful. Your friends too.
Hugs and greetings:)
Thank you Lucia. I am so lucky to be able to visit these charming places which past members of my family knew. My kind friends made it much easier for me. The Wisteria was a wonderful sight!
