Views around the grounds and Walled Garden - 11/01/2011

The unseasonable warm weather continued - even at 8.00 a.m. the temperature was 10 oC! As I travelled to Wallington the early morning sky was red and I stopped to take the following photograph.

The weather remained dry for the rest of the day and although it was cloudy the temperature never really dropped. The property saw a steady trickle of visitors taking advantage of the day to get out and about in the grounds and Walled Garden.

I spent my day clearing the paths and area around the Compost heap. Towards the end of the afternoon the wind was starting to get up again.

I took the following photographs before starting work:
