Little Moreton Hall, a beautiful National Trust property 10 min. drive away from home, is open again after its winter shutdown. It closes from Christmas to half-term, so it's reopening always makes it feel as though the worst of winter is over and warmer days are drawing near. Still, it looked a bit stormy when I rolled up:
Carpenter's marks on the internal beams.
The dead tree close to the entrance always makes a good photo.
