Hello everyone! Today I came into the Mills Archive and was greeted by Charlie sniffing me. I should mention that Charlie is a beautiful dog belonging to Michael Jones the House Manager. Michael has started planting bulbs ready for summer all around Watlington House and this year the Mills Archive staff have done their bit and helped out in the annual ritual of planting bulbs.
This year Nataliya, Liz and Mildred went out to help and the sun actually came out! I think they planted daffodils at the front of the house but we will have to wait until summer to see what appears! It was nice to see the girls doing this because I feel that after a long week, this was a real turning point to look forward to the summer and the numerous garden parties and most importantly being able to sit outside and have lunch on the steps! Watlington House is such a lovely place to work, it is so open with high ceilings and big windows, it is important to the Mills Archive that they do their bit by helping out.
