DUNHAM MASSEY

One of the other couples in the mission invited us to go to the Dunham Massey estate to see the winter gardens. The gardens has been advertised to be quite spectacular this time of year. It was a beautiful sunny day, a great day for an outdoor excursion.

The main hall was closed, only a gift shop, a restaurant and the gardens were open.





They have a lot of great wrought iron here in England. This gate was very impressive.



The gardens, however, were not impressive. Some greenery, lots of gnarly looking trees without leaves, not much else.

They have a herd of deer that live on the grounds. We were able to get close enough to take this picture.


We did find one blue iris.

  1. Beautiful pictures. Is it getting cold yet? It is snowing in Utah. Good luck with transfer day and am glad that things are getting easier. Keep up the good work.

  3. Great pictures. I'm thinking that place should be the mission home.
