A warm welcome

My week of socialising continues with a visit to Mountstewart House to see all the Christmas trees. Apparently there are nine, but I only counted five. They were all very lovely, though!

The photo is of the Veep and me loitering in front of the fire in the dining room, complete with three Christmas trees! I suspect we may have been underdressed. :-) The list for the guests to be seated around the table was full of titled aristocrats, ready to enjoy a seven course meal.

The smell of pine was beautiful!
