  • This week I'm taking you back in time to the end of April when I spent a week in a dreamy cottage in the Worcestershire countryside. Whilst I was there I didn't waste a second, exploring as much of the area as possible and I've still got so much to share! This episode takes you around more of the incredible places I stumbled upon during my time there. First we take a visit to Hellens Manor, a phenomenal survival from days past. It dates to 1058 although most of what we see today dates to the 15th and 16th centuries. Then I head to Little Malvern Court to explore the gardens and from there I spend the early evening visiting some of the charming villages on the Black and White trail, stopping by Weobley, Pembridge and Eardisland.

    Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 It seems you have the content I love to watch, probably because of my English ancestry. Your roses are beautiful, I love the garden and you seem such a sweetheart. I don't watch mainstream TV anymore so youtube is what I choose now and I know it helps others. Beautiful video, so peaceful, looking forward to seeing your future videos, take care. 💐🙂

    I have a new habit! Sighing. It happens when I watch the beautiful filming of these gorgeous places and the background music just takes me away from the daily treadmill. Thank you. I enjoy every moment, sigh. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    The two birds kissing (as part of the topiary hedge) are sooooo endearing!!!

    Oh, I love Hellens! We visited last summer2023. I know what you mean about the paintings. Blew my mind seeing them just right there, no glass, no climate control…wow. I would love to go there again too. Herefordshire and all the West Midlands has so much history on offer. We stayed at a friends house in Eardisley, part of the black and white trail, for 6 weeks

      I’m glad you’ve enjoyed it Christine :) The Black & White trail is lovely isn’t it? It would have been nice to share a few more of the villages but evening set in and I ran out of light. If you’re back in this area both houses are WELL worth a visit! Hope you get to see them for yourself one day :) Happy Sunday!
