Around Hardwick Hall

I've not updated properly for a while and I know I'm a bit crap at blogging (sorry!) but I'm hopefully going to update more often again, soon. I'm just very forgetful and disorganised... It's no good, no good at all.

Before I get started, I will tell you now that we didn't actually go to Hardwick Hall, but explored some of the grounds around it, no, not the gardens. Sorry to disappoint! However, the area we explored was lovely, and so full of life. There were so many animals from lairy geese to lazy cows and all in between:

Sorry that you can't see the heron very clearly, I tried to get closer for a better photo but it flew across to the other side of the pond after a few more steps... Probably to get away from me.

One of my favourite things about this time of the year though is the plant life, I love to see the world come alive in all different shades.

 If anybody knows the name of these flowers/can identify them, please let me know what they are. :)

And as I put it in the title of the post, why not include a glimpse of Hardwick Hall, as well? If you love cows, this photo will be doubley awesome.

Well, that's all! I hope you enjoyed these photos and that you're all having a wonderful summer (it is summer now, right?). Bye for now!
