Beningborough Hall

I wandered to Beningborough Hall. The gardens are pleasant but the hall is sparsely furnished and alas no art exhibition untill the autumn.

They have extended the wilderness garden and put in a new garden aimed at coping with the changing climate which is attractive.

There were a few painted lady butterflies and a tiger moth.

Naturally I spent the rest of the time reading a book under a tree. National Trust I like you are creating climate sensitive gardens any chance of more chairs in the shade? Most were empty in this heat,

Scampston Hall and Walled Garden

Well looking at the weather forecast I decided to head East.

So I went to Scampston Hall and Walled Garden. The hall is via guided tour and I've done it before. I like the parkland etc but wasn't keen on the walled garden on my first visit but overtime it has matured and I now like it!! 

I find it interesting that at home we see lots of Canada Geese and further North it is Greylags.

In the walled garden there seats in the shade with breeze. I ate lunch there and later finished my book. My sympathies with you in the red alert  zone!!
