May Day at Audley End


May Day Saturday, I took a trip out to the local English Heritage house and gardens, Audley End they were staging a Victorian re-enactment event.

The weather has been very poor for the last few weeks so the turnout was exceptionally low although the weather today has been dry, cold & overcast. My first shot shows the general feeling of the day but once we got going for those of us that made the effort it was a good event.
