The daffodils are blooming and the days are getting a little bit longer. We have had some mixed weather but no ‘Beast from the East’ so far this year. Had some lovely sunny spells between the showers and looking forward to more days out. Started planting up in the greenhouse ready to make the garden pretty for the guests. Chatsworth has just announced its programme of events this year and we are pleased to see an exhibition to celebrate man and woman’s best friend. Looks like some stunning sculptures in the gardens to visit. The Carriage House cafe has also had an additional doggy friendly seating area and here is plenty of treats and toys in the Stables Shop to treat your pet. We have just become Friends of Chatsworth as it is one of my favourite places to visit. Also worth a visit is Haddon Hall. They have a good restaurant for lunch or maybe afternoon tea.
