The centre section, our "mess Room" would have been the tack room as it had wooden brackets for harnesses, and the sliding doors on the right were for the carriages, with brackets for harnesses again. One thing that must be lost by now were "slippers" to put over the horses hooves, they were rubber coated metal with a wing nut at the rear to tighten onto the hooves. I think this was to stop the horses damaging the grass when they walked over the lawn, possibly pulling some sort of grass cutting gear.
3. The Azaleas are starting to colour up.
4. Can you tell were I am yet ?
5. Yew trees are starting to get out their pollen bits.
6.&7 crocus and a wet knee.
8. I was at ground level again looking at the slug damage, and this cheeky fly just looked at me.
9. There are now more snowdrops than you can shake a stick at, but if you do shake a stick at them the "parky" will chase you.
10. What are you whispering about.

and with that, if you hadn't guessed, finishes my tootle around Haworth Park.
Super shots, Dave! I always loved Haworth Art Gallery. Great job capturing the fly
