A chilly wind blows at the top of Dyrham Park in winter.

Fortunately I have my fur to keep me warm.

There are also trees that bears can shelter in.

The gardens near the house are more sheltered from wind. I was pleased to find Percy the Park Keeper’s wheelbarrow Bear sized….

The sun came out very briefly, just enough to warm my tummy fur a tiny bit.

I posed for a selfie in the splendid Christmas wreath.

I was starting to feel a bit chilly so headed to the hot food hut to get some lunch.

I opted for a cheese and onion pasty and a nice cup of tea, and very much enjoyed them sat in the courtyard.

I will probably visit again soon! For more information about Dyrham see: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/dyrham-park
