Laughing to myself as I write this but, is this a bit much or is it just - erm - “exuberant”?! PS. All the greenery is from the garden. Love being able to nip outside to get it and the pine, bay and rosemary smells amazing! #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #myhyggehome #mychristmasdecorating #festivevibes #festiveseason #festivehome #myhomedecor #manteldecor #manteldecor #mantelpiecedecor #mantelpiecestyling #christmasgreenery #myhomethismonth #mygardenthismonth #christmasfoliageforage

I have to admit that starting my new job at this time of year was a master stroke. I get to use the excuse of learning about my new properties I order to indulge my inner Christmas decoration gluttony. Couldn’t be happier! Attingham isn’t one of my properties but their trees are pretty spectacular this year, all on the theme of animals/nature. The Entrance Hall tree represents the four seasons, then there’s a coastal theme in the Saloon - the seashells look like Guylian chocolates! Mrs Peacock dominates the Boudoir and a paean to the Berwick’s dogs and their travelling cases is on display in the Octagon Room. In the antechamber is a response to the cabinet of exotic birds (looking v Carmen Miranda) and beautifully crafted origami butterflies break free from the Library tree to alight all over the room (my fave). Finally, a floral tribute to the floral Dagoty porcelain service in the Dining Room. I think it’s fully sold out now but if you have half a chance, go and take a look and prepare to feel thoroughly Christmassy by the end of it! #ntattingham #ntattinghampark #shropshirelife #shropshirelifestyle #shrewsbury #nationaltrustchristmas #christmastrees #christmastreesofinstagram #boudoir #mrspeacock #guylianchocolate #dagotyporcelain #dagoty #christmasdecorations #christmasdecorationporn

Nostalgia-ing hard at Hanbury right now! If you were born in the 70/80s then you need to get along here and drink your fill of babycham, tinsel and The Two Ronnies on telly! #nthanburyhall #nthanbury #nostalgia #nostalgicchristmas #ghostofchristmaspast #cheeseandpineapplehedgehog

The principal facade of Berrington Hall ablaze in the final rays of today’s setting sun. The light really set the sandstone on fire. Such a handsome house: Henry Holland really knew what he was doing. Now the team there are hoping to work on some of the worst weathered sandstone and do our part in making the hall fit to face another century or so. #longtermgoals #henryholland #18thcentury #18thcenturyarchitecture #monumental #settingsun #ntberrington #ntberringtonhall #berringtonhall #herefordshirelife

There’s too much gorgeousness on the Walcot Estate to be contained in just one post so I had to do a screen dump of images to share. The chapel we stayed in is inside the Arboretum which you can visit without staying on the estate and it’s certainly worth it for the beautiful walks. Safe to say, we’ll be back... #tinchapel #interiordetailswelove #amazingplaces #arboretum #woodlandwalks #shropshirehills #shropshirehillsaonb #justthelittlethings #winterwalks #thingstodowithkids #magicalweekend

Alas, the weekend had to end some time but the memories will last for a lifetime. Walcot has our hearts. #walcot #walcothall #walcothallestate #swanonthelake #serpentinelake #shropshirehills #shropshirehillsaonb #familyweekend #winterwalks #memoriesforlife
