In my home city of Sunderland, Washington Old Hall, ancestral home of Founding Father and first president of the United States, George Washington. Back in the day, former USA presidents Ulysses S Grant and Jimmy Carter have both dropped by and said 'hello'.
So, it's a bit sad that our historic ties being strained by all that's happening just now!

So all my white ‘Dyrham Park’ tulips have turned out pale yellow. Luckily this is a colour scheme I can live with, but I’m glad I kept the packet so I could check that I wasn’t going mad… #NationalTrust #gardening

An old building. The end gable with the ceremonial entrance is of dressed stone, the side is of red brick.

The building stands next to a modern road, in an otherwise rural scene

That’s amazing, so realistic. “each centimetre represents 2,000 kilometres of the real sun's surface.”

Grey, cold and murky across North East England today, but I did find the sun shining at Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland. 'Helios' is an installation by artist/sculptor Luke Jerram.
I first came across Luke Jerram's work some seven years ago at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
Some of his exhibits were created out of glass, but the most eye-catching and arresting sight was a huge giant inflatable E.coli bacterium installation, part of an exhibition that set out to make some of the invisible world around us, visible.
Since then, I've photographed two other of Jerram's inflatable installations, the 'Museum of the Moon' and 'Gaia', both at Durham Cathedral.
'Helios' is currently at Seaton Delaval Hall until 6 April 2025.

'Helios' is an inflatable representation of the sun by artist/sculptor Luke Jerram. Currently on tour at a number of locations, I captured it while on display at Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland.

This is my favourite #magnolia of all magnolias. It is called Felix Jury and these flowers are truly enormous and the deepest magenta in colour.

I managed to get us one for our garden last autumn, so I hope we shall have similar flowers in a few year's time.

A couple more images from the weekend's visit to Wallington Hall, Northumberland in North East England. A glorious weather taster of what is hopefully to come with the season of spring just around the corner.

Looking serene under blue skies and spring-like sunshine, China Pond in the East Wood on the Wallington Hall Estate in Northumberland.

This three-metre high snowdrop sculpture in the East Wood at Wallington Hall was created by Yeoman basket maker Eddie Glew. The arresting installation has been made using traditional willow weaving techniques.

Nudging a very respectable 18°C at Wallington Hall, Northumberland, in this weekend's spring-like sunshine across North East England. The main house isn't open yet, so it was the annual crocus display in the 'walled garden' proving to be the big draw. The overflow car park put to good use with queues on the approach road as visitors were determined to make the most of the weather.

The riot of purple colour at Wallington Hall in Northumberland is a sight to behold.

This colourful carpet of crocuses was catching a lot of attention in warm spring-like sunshine.

Visitors with their camera phones eager to capture the stunning colour on display in the walled garden at Wallington Hall, Northumberland.

Loughwood Meeting House, Devon

One of the earliest surviving Baptist meeting houses in Britain, founded in secret c.1653, remaining illegal until Toleration Act 1688.

Given to National Trust 1969 and really well restored. Absolutely adorable!

: interiors my own, exterior @morgrugyn

The exterior of the meeting house with thatched roof. The walls are made of stone, plastered yellow, apart from the end wall, where bricks have been used to insert twochimneys. There are four arched and one square windows on the two visible sides. The building is set in its burial ground amide farmland and distant hills.

The interior of the meeting house showing the west end with steps up to a gallery and box pews on the gorund level. In the middle of the gallery is a clock

A view inside the meeting house taken from the gallery, showing box pews and the pulpit.

A table below the pulpit with wooden collection boxes and some flowers.

For #FotoMontag here's the 18th century Gothic Temple, one of many temples in the gardens of the National Trust property at Stowe in Buckinghamshire. A fantastic walk with so much to see if you like architecture, sculptures, and lakes, and the house is impressive too, although it's privately-owned.

An idyllic scene in a classic, English, landscape garden. We're standing on short, green grass looking across still water, part of a large lake, to a low hill of dry, pale-golden grass atop which there sits a small church-like structure with square tower and smaller turrets on each corner, all topped by sharp points in a Gothic style. The building is red stone and backs onto a line of trees that follow the curve of the hill down to the left out of view behind other trees on the far side of the lake. A large tree, full of green leaves, partly overhangs the lake on the right and grows on our side of the water. The sky is lightly dappled with thin puffs of cloud and the scene is reflected on the lake's surface. It's warm, quiet, fresh, and relaxing here.

One of the reasons we like to go to our local #NationalTrust place is to browse through their #secondhand books.

We have found some real gems in the past, and today, we have found this wonderful book, which is hand #signed by Monty Don and his wife Sarah.

Not bad for £3.00.

Just before sunset in February 2019, after most of the visitors have gone home, it's quiet and #Avebury is exuding its uncanny vibe.
