I had a “fun” weekend of flat hunting, so unfortunately we didn’t have time to go anywhere this week. Instead, here are some pictures from a trip I made to Lotherton Hall while I was at home visiting my parents over Christmas.

The hall is an Edwardian house and country estate, which is also home to a bird garden with an impressive selection of over 130 different species.

From exotic birds from overseas…

…to some more home-grown favourites.

As we prepared to leave, the sun started to lower in the crisp winter sky…

…treating us with a gorgeous sunset to end the day.

For a fairly reasonable £5 entry for adults, Lotherton Hall is a great way to spend an afternoon.
