A Visit to Kirkley Hall

While over at Newcastle this week we took Hannah to Kirkley Hall which has a small Zoo and also a Walled Garden. It was still very cold so we did not spend a long time in the gardens but they are superb despite the fact that their thousands of daffodils were just still in bud and not one single flower was showing. This time last year they had been in flower for almost a month. This Beech hedge bordered part of the garden and I just love these kind of hedges.

In the Walled Garden there are these Apple trees growing up the wall. They will be superb when the blossom eventually comes on them.

Hannah got the chance to handle this Mexican Snake. She declined to hold it but did stroke it.
