Yes, it was this time again. just like previous 3 years ( post here and here), we were working at the stunning Holkham Hall. 2 weekends full of lovely singing from the Upper Octave, bell ringing,chatting with visitors and marvelling at the house. The house was decorated lavishly – as always. This year it was birds that were the inspiration behind the decor:-)
but have a look for yourselves… 🙂

and, once again, the Hall in its glory
The outside was just as festive, with entertainment, food, carriage rides and gift shop full of excited visitors – but snce we were working inside, we did not manage to capture any of that! we did catcha fe pictures one morning bfore the work – featuring the new stock dolmans from our shop
And after greeting and chatting to about 800-900 people a day, on finishing the work I was fit for just one thing… a snooze in a warm bed!
Happy holidays to those who celebrate them!
