Post Script to my last post!
This morning Mr Gaucho, the dogs and I walked in the grounds of Gosford House again. It was very peaceful, with no-one else around, which was lovely!
I took the opportunity to take a closer look at the medallion over the boathouse, depicting the goddess of health, Hygeia. The warm weather of the last couple of days has encouraged the blossom to come out on the tree behind the boathouse. The other day there only three flowers blooming, one of which is shown in my previous post.
There are a lot water birds around the lake. Grey lag geese, moorhens, mallards, a single swan (who I think is the solitary swan which spends a lot of time on the pond on the golf course next door to us), and various others.
The other day I saw a single heron standing by the water, but I did not spot a small heronry high above in a beech tree. Today we saw about six herons, perched on their nests. For such big gangly birds it seems a strange place to build a nest, but no doubt they will have their very good reasons!

What a beautiful place, would love to check it out when we are over. Serene and peaceful. These rich folks who lived in such lovely surroundings were very fortunate.
