The last visit of the year to Audley End

A grey cloudy day coincided with my last visit of the year to Audley End

I do love this old tree at Audley..... looks very architectural without the leaves

Ickworth on a cold winter's day

It was a lovely day today. Cold and a heavy frost but lovely blue skies!!

Grey's Court

I went to the National Trust's Grey's Court today.  It is a small property but it has a lovely garden and it is a place I like. Lots of Red Kites about as well.

This seemed to lend itself to Black & White

Dull and Grey at Ickworth

Someone said to me recently "it was such a grey day perfect for black and white". I'm not sure I always agree with that, often bright sun provides more compelling images to me in B&W but as it was very dull and grey yesterday!!

not convinced these work but hey ho
