The Annual Orchid Festival @ Burton Agnes Hall.

This time last year I visited the annual Orchid Festival at Burton Agnes Hall. So I thought this year I would also go visit them. With a love of drawing flowers, I thought it was a great opportunity to take some photographs. (sorry for the poor quality as they were taken on my iphone)

We also took Dylan with us. He enjoyed a lovely walk around the woodlands of the Hall. The woods are great for children as there is various pieces of fun sculpture for children to spot. Dylan found this one- a wild boar. We thought it was very funny as its nearly the same size of him. 

I think orchids are one of my favourite flowers. I love their different shapes and colours. Can't wait to get drawing them :)

For more pictures of Orchids, you can view my blog post from last year here:

The Snowdrop Spectacular!

Sometimes pictures say everything. So for this blog post, I will let you enjoy the lovely pictures from my trip to the 'Snowdrop Spectacular' at Burton Agnes Hall. 

Dylan was ready for a sit down after all that walking.

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.....
