💜 Summer afternoons in the courtyard...
We've been enjoying some unusually warm weather for the Lake District recently, but today's cooler temperatures and gentle breeze have made the courtyard even more inviting.
The lavender is now in full bloom, gently swaying in the breeze... who would like to enjoy a glass of wine or a refreshing G&T here? 🙋‍♀️
