Blickling Hall

Hubby and I spent the weekend in Norfolk and Suffolk, visiting National Trust properties for my goal of 60 this year for my 60th birthday. This was our first one on Saturday and is number 7/60.

Blickling Hall is a fabulous Jacobean mansion with amazing "kerb appeal." 55 acres of gardens and 4,600 acres of estate for walks or cycle rides. Pictured is the grass covered shallow moat, wonderful old door, chandelier, a super lady who had cooked on the Aga in the old kitchens a beautifully aromatic asparagus and cheese tart and a lemon cake, and the library.

Awesome collage. Breathtaking description.

Super choice of all the photos - for us to enjoy as well as you! Did you get to taste the asparagus and cheese tart?

[Casablanca]

@maggiemae I wish! It had just come out of the oven and the aroma was divine. The recipe was an old traditional one from the 1600s.

[Susan Wakely]

Sorry but you forgot to mention the lady in the middle picture with the beautiful architecture of the Hall in the background (I can guess who she is). Beautiful selection of pictures for this lovely collage.

My hubby lived on the estate for a few years lodging with the groundsman and family who lived in a cottage on the estate.

I recommend going to Mr Straws house in Worksop if you are ever that way. A small, short visit but really good.
