On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me...... by happypat

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me......

Five Gold Rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves & a partridge in a pear tree?

Missing six geese a laying,seven swans a swimming, eight maids a milking!

In this photo you can see nine lords a-leaping, ten ladies dancing, eleven pipers piping & twelve drummers drumming.

This was the long Hall & they did seem to run out of space & crammed them all into this room.

Sorry I could have taken photos of geese, swans & maida a milking but didn’t think!

By coincidence on BBC Breakfast this morning Carol the weather girl was at Castle Howard showing us the outside & a couple of the rooms inside. A lovely choir in the big hall too, nice to think we had been in there last weekend!

Three good things:
1. A visit from friends from Leicester who always come with their cards.
2. Car cleaned...it smells of polish & shines beautifully.
3. Enough cards to put a string up on the beams!

Love the lords and ladies and all the crowds walking through You did well with all the photo opportunities in the Hall !

You must have had to pay to get into this castle! The artwork is so good and specially designed for Christmas! There is a lot to see in this shot - just found the Leaping Lords! Probably trying to land on the dancing ladies!

It must be lovely to wander around and see it in person.

@maggiemae Yes we had to pay £35 each for entrance plus coach, quite a trip, it took 2 & a half hours to get there.
