The last time we went to Croome, Humuhumu was a toddler and Keiki slept through the whole thing in his sling. The grounds are stunning - itโ€™s a Capability Brown extravaganza, no expense was spared, not even that of moving an entire village to improve a view - and they loved it. Iโ€™m still kicking myself for not bringing the dSLR but comfort myself in the knowledge that weโ€™ll definitely be back.

The snowdrops were out in late December. That was a bit of a shock.

Humuhumu built a tiny snowman and left him on the steps.

Those tiny specks in the middle distance are my children.

Ooh! We went there with my family a couple of years ago. Aren't the grounds amazing? You keep coming across unexpected buildings and structures.

We have trees in full blossom and they have been since the turn of the year!

Just nuts!

I love Croome! We went a few months ago just as autumn aas setting in but it rained incessantly so we didn't really make the best of the grounds

Humuhumu's teeny snowman is the cutest thing ever!

And I love that shot of snow-covered lawn, water, and cloudy sky, occasionally pierced by trees!
