Or Downs anyway. The Herdwick sheep from the other day were all, without exception, having a siesta when we passed them on today's walk (see Extras).

Also in Extras is the Woolbeding Glasshouse, which is coming along nicely. It's a ten-sided ‘kinetic’ glasshouse that will be set in a series of landscape garden zones, exhibiting flowers, shrubs and trees depicting the key regions of the Silk Route which was used to bring the many plants that characterise English gardens and parks.  You can read more about it here if of interest.
