Burton Agnes Hall Orchid Festival 2014

So it was the gorgeous annual Orchid Festival at Burton Agnes Hall. Here is some of my pictures of the stunning flowers!

The snowdrops are also out in full swing is the wonderful woods. 

Whilst uploading my images on Instagram of some of my Orchids I came across this beautiful account:

Spring is around the corner!

We have had some lovely sunny days recently and what better thing to do is get some fresh air with a walk along the cliff tops. Dylan is certainly enjoying it. It was such a lovely day and there was certainly plenty of other people enjoying the seaside views.

What else I love about this time of year is the types of flowers emerging for spring! My nan's garden especially displays this with many snow drops and crocus'. They were certainly catching some rays.

How gorgeous are these berries? I have also seen some daffodils emerging! So gorgeous! 

If you follow my blog you will see I go to Burton Agnes a lot. Its nearly time for their annual Orchid Festival. I am hoping to go again so will post some pictures for you to see. They are always great for inspiration. 

A Trip to Sledmere House.

Last week I found out a friend of mine was exhibiting her work at Sledmere at The Triton Gallery. I first met my friend Lauren Ward at Yorkshire Coast College during our foundation year. When moving to Hartlepool I lost a bit of contact with some of my lovely friends from Bridlington so it was great to catch up and see how her work has developed. 

With summer coming to an end I thought it was best to make use of what sunshine we get and also went to visit Sledmere House itself and its enchanting Walled Gardens. It was quite windy but that didn't stop the lovely photo's....

I love these beautiful tiles in the Turkish Bathroom. The room is stunning! 

Sledmere is also in the public eye not only for its gorgeous stately home but as a village. David Hockney has famously painted the village in his fantastic collection of Yorkshire landscapes. 

If your in Yorkshire I would definitely recommend visiting this quite little Yorkshire Village. 

David Hockney... Eat your heart out!

After looking at the vintage cars we went for a short walk in the woods at Burton Agnes Hall. Again, I spent alot of my childhood playing in these woods and when my nan was last here with my younger brother they bumped into David Hockney! It's easy to tell why, at this time of year the woodland is becoming full of life and is SO green!

Things are starting to bloom.....
