Trying to think outside the box in a cubed world. Traveller, collector & wishing I was fit! All opinions are personal.

A good old spring clean of the stores at Great Chalfield Manor @LacockNT with weeding and reed clearing for good measure. Roses and Irises looking lovely. 🌹

A lot of laurel pruned and tidied @TyntesfieldNT - looking lovely in the winter sun..

@Bathntv @LacockNT Really sorry to have missed you all, too many NT commitments at this time of year. Merry Christmas to all.

A very festive task first thing at Great Chalfield Manor @LacockNT - putting up and then decorating the 20ft Christmas tree. Outdoors planting spring bulbs in the orchard.

Beautiful autumn day @TyntesfieldNT clearing tree branches and undergrowth for a roaring bonfire and restoring a wonderful view of the house.

A mountain of ivy cleared from barns at Great Chalfield Manor @NTinBath and a lovely time to visit the gardens.

Coppicing willow @AveburyNT for an artist to make a sculpture for the local school. Glorious day to be outdoors!

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

First visit of the year and a great day @TyntesfieldNT laying mulch for the apple trees. The outdoor decorations have lasted til 12th Night. All looking spruce for visitors!

At the wonder Great Chalfield Manor @NTinBath today planting spring bulbs, clearing wood, leaves and the stream. Look out for the Manor in Wolf Hall 2 The Mirror and the light tonight- an excellent Tudor location!

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

Some 15,000 bulbs planted in the orchard @NTDyrhamPark . Should be an awesome display in the Spring. The autumn colours looking lovely today.🍂

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

A journey through the secret door to the lost terraces @NTDyrhamPark to weed out brambles and nettles. A lovely shady path to walk through.

Such a beautiful garden at Great Chalfield Manor @NTinBath Today’s job to prune lavender along the top beds to encourage growth. Seems to have worked a treat on the lower level. Great time to visit

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

A great day for a bonfire @TyntesfieldNT to clear dead wood and brambles. Sunshine at last, great to be outdoors. Should have remembered the marshmallows!

Didn't see this one on the shelves this year, perhaps even the 'porridgists' came to their senses. Have a wonderful time and Merry Christmas.

[Tony Rees @TonyWRees]

Happy Christmas everyone, though if you like this stuff I must question your sanity 😆

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

The amazing Azalea maze cleared of bracken and brambles @TyntesfieldNT 🌺 So much colour still to see on a warm October day. 🍂

[Bath NT Volunteers @Bathntv]

The year begins for us at elegant @TyntesfieldNT clearing the last of the fallen leaves and dead wood, ready for new growth very soon!🍁
