Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens

There were two sunny days last weekend, and we decided to visit Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens. I should say that the most beautiful flowers there was Jack.

Wooden and Quarry Gardens were impressive with their trees growing on the rocks

We saw many blooming flowers, as huge Heathers, small wild Cyklamens, Winter Crocuses and many others as well.

New Crochet Item

When autumn approaches, you start to notice more and more leaves under your feet. And then comes the inspiration to capture this moment. It was the yellowing leaves that inspired me to create this botanical crochet set. For now, these are only green oak leaves, but yellow ones in a variety of shades will appear soon. So expect more.
