A trip back to Burton Agnes Hall again today, this time with grandson to hunt for spooky clues in their woodland walk areas....this C16th house is always a delight.

Oh and the bubble is glass and was really beautful, the sky reflected in it as it was.
I wonder if it would crack in icy or really cold weather? Guess it must be well hardened glass surely?
