Through the Badminton estate for Derek's walk
Franceska back-marking
Tie a Yellow Ribbon round the old oak tree
The Big House a long way in the distance
So far away that there is no chance of anyone seeing this concealed electricity station behind the manicured hedge
One of the lodges
Poppies by the barn. Lots of poppies on the road to Badminton
The church at Little Badminton
With lovely gardens
Beautiful roses
Another lodge
Nice wheelbarrow of flowers over the porch, but how do you get it there? Do you lift it up after planting, put there empty and ascend with earth and plants? A discussion (though short)
Fields now looking yellowish instead of the bright green of a week ago
The wind sock - not going there today
A long line of us going along the field boundary
After coffee the track is muddy
But there is light at the end of the tunnel as we get nearer to Badminton.
