A Visit to Blickling Hall, Aylsham, Norfolk - 9th January 2022
The winning vote for the "thing to do today" ends up being Blickling Hall, so we drive up for a poke around and a session of Welly Wanging.

Fancy Alms houses at Blickling Hall
The gravel path to Blickling Hall
It's weird and impressive under the hedge
Fred in the former Blickling Village Hall
The lake by the hall
We eat a snack on the bench by the lake
The boys head off into the spreading tree
Fred's up a tree
The boys eat crisps in the massive tree
Isobel roams around
Fred peers into a hollow tree trunk
Harry wanders over for a look
A curious brick throne in the woods
A garden room
Inside the orangery
There's a Santa's grotto left over from Christmas
Harry's found a use for the mystery rings
A curious gnarled tree trunk
Bright purple berries
Chunky bracket fungus on a tree
The thimble topiary of Blickling
Isobel wanders off
Fred becomes the gnomon in a human sundial
Harry does a bit of hiding
Harry's found a really good hiding place
Isobel looks back
A nice brick corner of the garden
Another view of Blickling Hall
A near-derelict shed in the woods
Fred lobs a wellie boot into the air
Isobel does Welly Wanging
A Tiger Moth does a couple of circuits
Harry collects small wheelbarrows
Fred and Isobel on the bench
Inside the NT shop
We're back in the second-hand book shop
Isobel browses in the children's section
Harry buys a book
Blickling Hall in the low golden evening sun
The boys move a barrier so we can get out
A Chinook helicopter clatters over
A nice sunset over the wind turbines
Sunset over the side field
There's a kitten in the field
Burning sky through the bones of a tree
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
