Gloomy Sunday

In weather terms that is. Cold today, although not so rainy. Although I don't want this to become an endless weather report its already apparent that the atmosphere of this place is strongly affected by the weather, from the view of the castle and grounds as you drive in, to the demeanour of the sheep and cattle, to the ambience of the buildings.

As I left today, another reminder of the connection of this place to its wider environs. Trees dripping left over rain drops on the roof of the car, wet lambs picking at sodden grass, and the sweet smell of chocolate pervading all - from the Cadbury factory which is half a mile away at the bottom of the hill.
