It's been a couple of years since my last visit to one of my local stately homes... Arley Hall.
It was a lovely sunny morning... but the forecast was to expect heavy showers.
We made the most of the sunshine... the gardens are stunning at this time of year.
...the summer flower borders are so colourful...
... and full of butterflies like this lovely Small Tortoiseshell.
The rain did arrive... but luckily just as we got back to the car.

Hi what a lovely colourful garden. Great shots and I love the Butterfly.
That looks like a great place to visit. I love the butterfly shot.
that barn is SO cool!
"...one of my local stately homes". You have a very nice place there Andrew.
Couldn't agree more with Mr. Sinbad's companion - what a beautiful place you live in! The garden, the farm house...just beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
That butterfly looks really good in the big yellow flower.
What a lovely place, beautiful flowers/gardens! Glad the good weather held long enough for you to enjoy! The butterfly is delightful! Terrific captures for the day, Andrew! Wonderful old barn, too! Have a great week!
A fantastic garden! Thank you for sharing!
Wow - 1470! The oldest barns in our part of the world aren't even 150 years old.. and those have mostly all fallen in.
Looks like a beautiful place, and I'm smitten with that fine-fringed yellow flower & butterfly!
Gorgeous! Wish I could visit that garden too.
It looks grand, love the pretty gardens. The butterfly is a gorgeous shot!
Great tour and the butterfly is stunning!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
The butterfly shot is too good.

A lovely place to visit. The timbers in that Cruck barn are amazing.
I love the butterfly but, I loved the old barn, excellent photos.
Beautiful gardens Andrew but the barn is just fantastic, an amazing piece of craftsmanship...[;o)
