Kentwell Hall Gardens and Farm

This picture makes me think of candyland with all the shrubs shaped like suckers, or lollipops.



It's that time of the year, there are little lamb everywhere you look! 



The moat was lined with beautiful jonquils.



Poitou Donkey, originated in the Poitou area of France.  It shaggy coat is called cadanette.  The animals with the greatest cadanette - the most matted and tangled, the more valuable the animal.






The Sculptured Tree

  I love Kentwell, it is like a working farm.  They have horses, cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits and other animals.  I kept seeing signs that said "lambing at Kentwell", I had no idea what that meant!  Actually, when the sheep are getting very close to giving birth, they are kept in special pens and visitors could be luckily enough to be there to experience the birth of the little lamb so that is what they meant by "lambing".  When the lambs are born, they are moved with their mother into another pen to graze in front of the hall.
