Today we drove to Henley to a National Trust property called Grey's Court.
We did a large walk around the edge of the estate over the Chiltern Hills. The sun was shining and it was the perfect day for a walk, it felt like summer had arrived! I even managed to get slightly burnt!
We then visited the grounds, heading firstly to the Tea Rooms for a well deserved coffee and cake. I opted for an elderflower presse and Raspberry Eton Mess Victoria sandwich. It was delicious and has inspired me to make this sometime soon!
After this we climbed the tower and were treated to beautiful views of the house and gardens. The gardens looked spectacular, with a variety of flowers and the stunning wisteria.
We then explored the gardens and enjoyed going through the wisteria tunnel and taking many pictures. We then found out that the wisteria was 120 years old! Wow! I wish I could have a massive wisteria tree in my garden with its lilac flowers!
We then explored the fruit, vegetable and herb garden. My favorite seeing the orange plant as I had never seen one before!
Here are a couple of pictures from the day! :)
What a lovely day! :) xoxo

Oxfordshire walk and pub lunch -The Swan Inn
Spring is most definitely here so my family and I decided to take advantage of the clear blue sky's and temperatures of 15c and go on a long countryside walk with a pub lunch. We drove to the beautiful and quintessential village of Burford in Oxfordshire and did a long walk with a pub lunch in the middle.
We visited The Swan Inn in Swinbrook. It was a beautiful pub where in fact David Cameron took President Francois Hollande for lunch recently. As it was a Sunday they were mostly serving Sunday lunch, however I had half a chicken and skinny chips served with harissa mayo - delicious! The choice for starters, mains and also puddings was superb.I wish I could've had a starter and a pudding but my main course was so filling! The pudding that took my attention was the bramley apple crumble served with cinnamon ice cream. According to a little note on the menu this is what Cameron and Hollande ate so it must be good!!

Enjoy the sunshine xoxo
