Osterley Park and mince pies

Hello again everyone

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

So this afternoon mum and I went to Osterley Park and gardens. 

It is a very impressive looking house close to Heathrow airport. Though obviously the airport wasn't there when they originally built it!

The house as it is today was originally commissioned in 1761on the site of the original Manor House dating from the 1570s.

The National Trust first became involved in the property in 1991.

It is a really nice property but because it is winter and everything is being cleaned and restored there wasn't a lot for us to see today inside the house.

The gardens are large and we wandered around for a bit before the house opened at 12. To pass the time I climbed some trees.

In the house we wandered around and even made a Christmas garland!

When we came home we made some mince pies, I've just had one, it was yummy.

I'm not sure what we are up to next week but I'll let you know. 

Lots of love

Ben
