title A Return to Ickworth House, Horringer, Suffolk - 11th April 2021 intro It's been over eight months since we got the chance to visit Ickworth, so almost as soon as we're released from local lockdown we head over for a walk around and to find that the grand roofing project has been completed. We also explore the walled garden and the Earl's Summer House, which goes to show that you can go somewhere loads of times and still find something new. imgp6794 The lambs are out at Ickworth imgp6795 The gravel drive up to the rotunda imgp6796 A field of daffodils imgp6801 Fred takes a photo of an interesting flower imgp6804 The cool flower of interest imgp6806 The pond at Ickworth imgp6810 Fred takes a photo of geese imgp6811 A lamb has a suckle imgp6814 St. Mary's Church, Ickworth imgp6815 The pock-marked garden wall imgp6816 We walk around the walled garden imgp6817 The wall is at weird angles imgp6822 Inside the Earl's Summer House imgp6824 The gang eat a snack in the summer house imgp6826 The summer house is getting a bit frayed imgp6827 A summerhouse window imgp6828 The view from the summer house imgp6830 Harry points to an interesting scratch mark imgp6831 There's some garden on the floor imgp6838 Isobel heads off imgp6843 Fred reaches up the wall imgp6845 Isobel sits on a bench imgp6848 Another distressed garden feature imgp6851 The Earl's Summer House imgp6857 Fred makes something imgp6861 A derelict cold frame imgp6864 A derelict greenhouse imgp6866 More derelict greenhouses imgp6868 The skeleton of a greenhouse imgp6874 An even-more derelict greenhouse imgp6876 The grisly remains of a rabbit imgp6877 The greenhouses have curious water tanks in imgp6879 Fred's leaf-boat construction imgp6882 A small walled garden imgp6884 Harry builds a new brick construction imgp6885 Ickworth bogs imgp6890 Harry's construction continues imgp6893 Harry legs it imgp6894 Beehives and a derelict shed imgp6895 A dead tree imgp6896 The articifial lake imgp6898 Fred puts his leaf boat out to sea imgp6902 A private house by the lake imgp6903 Fred tries to rescue his boat imgp6907 Fred and Harry on the bridge imgp6911 A field full of lambs imgp6916 The church, summer house and rotunda all in one shot imgp6920 A fluffy duckling scoots about imgp6935 Harry does some moves as it starts to snow imgp6938 The snow comes down as Harry dances about imgp6941 Back at Ickworth Church imgp6943 The newly-re-roofed rotunda
