A National Trust xmas

The Blickling Estate is National Trust and does a wonderful xmas lights display in the formal gardens as well as dressing the house. All of this is at no extra cost to normal and therefore free to members. G and I went along with our tripods late this afternoon and had a quick wander round the house and then took a few photos in the gardens - we had to be quick as it was very cold! Last year I posted a photo of the front of the house https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2251816418947369982 so today I've posted one of the back of the house from the gardens. Several of the staff and voluteers dressed up and I've posted an extra of one of the gentlemen who wouldn't look out of place in Downton Abbey!
