Godolphin


I have made two trips to Godolphin House this week. 


It is a place that really feels as if time has stood still.......


The first primroses are out; there is a sense of anticipation in the air - Spring!







So quiet and peaceful; Angelica and I were the only people there!


Snowdrops and daffodils beside a granite wall



The ancient apple trees in the orchard are dead now, but the moss and lichen on their twisted branches is quite, quite beautiful




The old stables still have some wonderful wooden hay carts inside



and I love the fact that there are still chickens grubbing about in the yard outside!

  9. I love these pictures Christine
    Its mysterious yet looks lived in as if someone will pop out of the house and feed the chickens at any moment. And they are beautiful chickens...

  11. Beautiful photos, thank you for sharing, the cockeral is stunning, strutting amongst his hens. I'm sure it has the most wonderful sense of peace about it.
