Come visit Hollytrees Museum and learn about the Georgian class system AND that you're getting ever closer to becoming a museum artefact yourself. 😘

#Morningwalk today was early before anyone else was out in the chilly weather. Wallabies out early having breakfast. The bees have mostly closed the hole in the tree with wax. Too chilly for them.
