We had bank holiday here in the UK on Monday, and so I (and my friend K) spent the day at Polesden Lacey enjoying the beautiful weather...which was even more delightful as the weekend had started off with consistent rain!
Polesden Lacey is a National Trust property in Surrey only about an hour from where I live. It was the home of Mrs Greville who was one of the foremost society hostesses of the Edwardian Era. Edward VII was a regular house guest (as was Mrs Keppel), and George VI and the Queen Mother honeymooned at the estate.
It was a beautiful day to spend at such a beautiful property...
There are over 100 acres on the estate, and some lovely gardens to explore...
This is about 1/4 of the rose garden - it must have looked glorious in June...
...and surrounded by the lovely Surrey Hills there are a range of walking routes of differing lengths. We chose a 40 minute wander through the home fields to walk off lunch and an icecream...
And in other news...it seems as if I may have bought a flat. I'm in the middle of a paperwork process at the moment re offer confirmations and arranging for marketing of the property to cease. So once we are over that hurdle I'll share some more details...
