Felbrigg Gardens, Norfolk

I received a voucher through the post the other week from the National Trust for a free cream tea for two, so what better excuse for me and Ellen to visit Felbrigg hall? As you can see from the photos it was a gorgeous day, and yes I did get sunburnt. Typical.

Afternoon (11.50am) tea in the courtyard

We decided to cash in our voucher as soon as we arrived - even though it was a bit early for afternoon tea - and sat outside in the courtyard for a bit, since it was too nice to sit inside.  

As usual we were the youngest people there by about 50 years.

We then went to walk around the gardens for a bit because Ellen wanted to see if the vegetables she is growing were superior to the ones growing at Felbrigg. 

On the way we went past the donkeys who have been there for as along as I can remember. Apparently they can live to between 50-80 years! I do not think that is true. The national trust must be lying.
