Bradgate and Beaumanor: a walk amongst the animals!

Following on from last week's post about connections with Loughborough, would be very easy - links between some of the places I've visited recently are many and varied - so let's do something different!!

A trip to Bradgate this week was extremely pleasant, and almost spring-like and I was really pleased to see a number of deer!

We didn't walk far, only from Newton Linford to the Deer Barn, and on the way back we spotted a pair of ducks. At one point they looked as though they were touching beaks, but of course I didn't manage to capture that on film!

On Friday evening I went to a book launch at St Paul's church in Woodhouse Eaves, where the author, Caroline Wessell gave a wonderful talk and we were entertained by contemporary music! 

Having bought myself of copy of the book, I wanted to take another look around Beaumanor Hall, so on Sunday I went to the local history fair. Some great stalls with interesting and useful information, and I had some good conversations with some lovely people. Inside was as stunning as I remember, and the grounds were full of the first signs of spring, plants and animals everywhere!
