Spring has arrived at Trentham Gardens. It was a joy to walk in the sunshine earlier this week even though there was a sharp breeze to start with the morning warmed quickly.
It was certainly a back to a warm coat and gloves day.
Perseus with the head of Medusa a copy of the original 16th century sculpture by Benvenuto Cellini made for the second Duke of Sutherland, the owner of Trentham Hall and estate in 1840.
There were some lovely displays of Spring flowers.
As well as Spring, Snoopy has arrived for a visit, he and his little friends are in the shop windows.
And in the gardens
It was fun searching for them all. I've added photos of those we were able to take images of with no people around.
As you can imagine the Snoopy trail was very popular with families.
Peanuts by Charles Shultz was (still is) one of my two favourite cartoon strips, the other being The Perishers by Maurice Dodd and Dennis Collins which I remember from our daily newspaper in the 1950s and 60s.
Some of Snoopy's little friends. I've put Peppermint Pattie in the centre as she is my favourite of the children characters.
I hope everyone has a peaceful Easter weekend.
What a wonderful Snoopy Trail - thanks so much for the photos - such a fun thing to do :) Lovely photos of the tulips and daffodils. You are fortunate to live so close to Trentham as it looks a great place to go for a walk. Have a peaceful Easter weekend too Rosie.
ReplyDeleteThe pots of tulips look fabulous, a flower I'm not very successful with. Happy Easter to you and your family. Xx
