Standen House - exteriors, grounds and Bill.

The first sight of Standen House is Hollybush Farm, which was incorporated into the Victorian family home.

 

Rambling home of the Beale Family,
the Folks Who Lived on the Hill.

 








Foxgloves
 






















Lupins

A chalkhill blue butterfly - I think.
Markings on tree bark.
Wild orchids in the meadow.



 



















Red flowers, like Christmas decorations.

Poppy bud
Reminded us of the beak of a turkey!


At the top of the hill
there are views across to Weir Wood Reservoir.


Birthday lunch.
Playing with children's dressing up box.


Birthday Boy deserved an ice cream to end the day.

I end with Sweet William.
I begin and end each day with Sweet William!
