I hadn't heard of Carl Linnaeus before I saw the cart in this picture, at The Newt. I have added a short video of about 4 minutes long, from The Natural History Museum, if you are interested. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb_IO-SzLgk

Cloche!

Good attention to detail in The Newt's vegetable garden. As you can see in the PiP, the cloche mimics the shape of the fruit cages.

Fallow Deer

I was lucky enough to see this small herd of fallow deer, mostly Does and young Fawns. As soon as they saw me, they were quick to leave, as seen in the first PiP! Continuing the walk I saw a Buck in the distance. The photo is not great but the best I could do in the circumstances. 2nd PiP. Better viewed large.

The Orangery at The Newt

Walking towards The Orangery, the perfect place to sit in with a warming drink on a cold January day.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone for the kind comments on my previous picture. In brief, my husband was taken to hospital with pneumonia and unable to walk. He came close to losing his life and then caught Covid in hospital, which was another setback. The reason he couldn't walk was because of a dangerously low thyroid count. After two weeks he came home and has been recovering slowly ever since. I had intended returning to Ipernity last week but then my eldest brother was admitted to hospital in Bristol with a heart aneurism and he is still in intensive care, so it has been quite a busy time for me! I will catch up with your galleries whenever I can and hopefully after Christmas will be able to devote more time to the site. I have renewed my subscription, so hopefully that will be the case. Also for three weeks my computer was not working, so that was another problem. My son-in-law managed to get it going again but I think a new one is on the cards.....I hope Santa will be kind to me!! I haven't been anywhere with my camera since the date on this photo.
