Sunny September Afternoon At Ulting Wick

Although there have been a couple of chillier, rainy days, on the whole September has still felt very summery so far- I'm making the most of it before Autumn sets in! Last Sunday was gorgeously sunny and warm and I spent the afternoon with Mr Writer and his family at Ulting Wick, a beautiful house with spectacular gardens, tucked away in the Essex countryside. You can find out more about Ulting Wick in this previous post, when we visited the gardens to see the tulips in bloom.

 Here are some photos from our lovely September afternoon... 


It really is a quintessentially English, picture postcard garden. Just stunning


My Mother and Father in Law are great gardeners so it was interesting to hear their knowledge of the different plants in the gardens


It was so bright in the sunshine that it was difficult to take clear photos in places but I hope you get the gist of the beautiful place!



You can see just how bright a day it was!




This wasn't intentional but I love this hazy, summery effect!




The colour of that sky!

If you've been on any trips recently I'd love to see your photos! Do you have any recommendations of great places to visit?

Ulting Wick Garden

This Sunday afternoon just gone, Mr Writer, my lovely In laws to be and myself visited the beautiful Ulting Wick Garden near Hatfield Peveral, Essex. 

The garden is open for charity several times throughout the year and the 11 acres of garden surround a 17th century farmhouse and 3 listed black Essex barns. It was a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon and thousands of Tulips were in full bloom in the main heart of the garden, which was once a working farmyard. I ever knew tulips came in so many colours! I'd be interested to visit throughout the year to see how the gardens develop, but  Ulting Wick will next be open on Friday 9th May from 2pm-5pm and I'd definitely recommend a visit to catch the Tulips in bloom! 



Spring has definitely sprung!

This character was hiding among the branches!




It was a floral themed day so I wore my floral Joules pumps, which I love!
Hope you're all enjoying the spring flowers local to you too!
