Fraser and Leslie took us to Filoli House and Gardens this afternoon. They are a 30 minute drive from Saratoga towards San Francisco. The house was built in 1915 and eventually many years later handed over to the National Trust for Historical Buildings.
The gardens are well laid out over a large area and are spectacular.
I do love Californian Poppies.

One of the Sitting rooms.
The Swimming Pool.
In the garden they had a Cocktail Bar and the 2 kids and 2 pensioners had Shirley Temple non alcoholic cocktails while Fraser and Leslie had something a little stronger but not that much. Tommy missed the afternoon as he had a Soccer match which his team won easily.
The family outside the entrance to the house. A most enjoyable afternoon and although the house was just over a hundred years old it was a different era and very interesting.
