Last Sunday D and I went along to Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens where there were drills and demonstrations by Colonel John Pickering's Regiment of Foote - part of Cromwell's Brigade.
The Regiment is part of the Sealed Knot which is a re-enactment society dedicated to the remembrance of those who fought in the Civil War
It was good to see displays of Daffodils as we arrived at the Gardens.
The first demonstration had already started.
Drill over they departed for lunch.
As we had missed the start of the display and enjoyed what we did see so much D and I decided to have a wander round the gardens, have lunch and then return to see the demonstration in the afternoon
The Upper Wilderness with the Church of St Mary and St Margaret in the background.
One of the orchards
There will be a good display of tulips around the Gardens soon.
Then onto the tea-room - I was very good and resisted cake and had vegetable soup instead.
We then returned to the display which was just re-starting.
It really was an enjoyable event and a good way to end a lovely weekend.
