Paycocke's

I went to Paycocke's this morning. It was the last weekend of the year and they were having a Tudor Yuletide event with the Companye of Merrie Folke.

Obviously my first stop was a coffee and a scone ;)

Wimpole

I went back to Wimpole yesterday as they had set up for Christmas... luckily the sun was shining :)

Lots of daffodils coming through

There was music playing throughout the gardens. examples Enya, When I wish upon a star and Wham.

I was going into the house but it didn't open at 11:30 and people were queuing so I wandered on. It was a nice wander and the gardens looked nice

Clare Country Park

I haven't been to Clare since June and the last time I shared photos was last November! 

There were a number of Tit flocks and goldfinches about. I didn't find any Siskins but did see 2 Goldcrests.

The Railway Station closed in the 60's and went right through the castle remains. It was one of 13 to close when the line from Marks Tey to Cambridge was closed. Today it is the only complete complex remaining. The station masters house is now a cafe that does decent rolls :) 

I sat with a coffee in the sun with the castle as a backdrop.

Wow I had to walk up eh

You get good views and no I didn't wander into town.

Nice to return
