A flavour of Sizergh

Sizergh as in Tizer....

We visited Sizergh Castle in mid August but it is still not to late to go there - just about an hour and a quarter from Bury so not too daunting for a day out.

The house/castle is decidedly interesting and is very 'lived in' which makes it probably more interesting than many which can be very sterile and museum-like.  There is the usual National Trust eatery and gift shop - so ice cream and cakes and a rootle round for some presents for folks is not a bad way to spend a sunny afternoon.

This is just a handful of photos to whet your appetite...

showing the companion planting

It is beneficial to plant flowers with vegetables if you have the space (companion planting).  There is a raft of information about it if you Google it.



I do love a stumpery - done well
