There were many more flowers to come out on the bushes so I expect it will look good next week. Some of the interior of the hall was closed for a wedding (I expect they would have photos taken in the Camelia House) and the prospect gallery for the installation of an exhibition so there were only the main galleries open, Paul found a pterosaur cast he didn't know they had in the collection and has since contacted the curator for more details for his website:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-55874835411561154192017-03-10T09:08:35.512+00:002017-03-10T09:08:35.512+00:00The restoration of the camellia house is beautiful...The restoration of the camellia house is beautiful.

The camellia flowers look beautiful. My neighbour's red one is in flower but our white one still only has buds (often eaten by the squirrels!!!!).
