Levens Hall...

I drove past Scalby Grange Farm, where, in summer, I make occasional stops for strawberries. Today the fields were full of pumpkins, instead: thousands of them, the colour of Donald Trump’s spray tan. Of course, one day after halloween, no one was taking up the invitation to ‘pick your own pumpkins’. What happens to them? Do they all end up in landfill, or are they ploughed back in?

Everything about Levens Hall, in South Lakeland, is spectacular: the architecture, the topiary gardens. There’s so much to gladden the eye… until you venture inside. This is the gloomy drawing room, licensed today…
