After a week of rain, the sun shone for our workday at Shugborough today. We were working in the area adjacent to the walled garden that used to contain glasshouses where, in the dim and distant past, pineapples and other exotic fruits were grown. The area is overgrown and neglected and in much need of some attention. We started that job today, clearing back the overgrowth to reveal the path and brickwork, as well as some of the original heating pipework that fed the glasshouses.
