We are currently away in Yorkshire for the week, staying somewhere between the very lovely Robin Hood's Bay and Whitby, so I will have lots to share with you about our break over the coming weeks.
For now, I have the last day of our short break to Stratford-upon-Avon to share with you, which we decided to finish off with a visit to Baddesley Clinton, a National Trust property that we haven’t visited before, but was pretty much on our way home.
It was another lovely day and the fleeces were left in the car and, as usual, having skipped breakfast, our first stop was of the refreshment variety ... venison lasagne with big chunks of crusty bread, which set us up nicely for the rest of the day.
This is yet another NT property where the layout is such that the property gives a high impact reveal as you come out of the courtyard. It looked stunning against the blue sky, fully surrounded by its own moat.

... and a few other bits and pieces in flower ...

The vegetable gardens are currently under reconstruction following damage caused by the terrible winter that we’ve had ...
We wandered right around the house and moat ...
It was then time for our house visit. This was the view as we'd crossed the bridge over moat and came out under the archway ...
As if that wasn't pretty enough, this was the view looking back across the courtyard from the other side ...
There were plenty of ducks and geese baby chicks and goslings to watch swimming about and we did have a look for feathers for my new natural collection but had no joy ...
We had both had a lovely break, and neither of us were really ready to go home, but we hadn’t been back long before we were planning what to get up to for the last few days before Martin is back at work and there was still one last adventure on the cards, which I will tell you more about another time 😀
