There’s an invasion of bunnies @WaddesdonManor - must be something to do with Easter. I’m keeping a watchful eye on them
The new season @WaddesdonManor is underway - here are my shutters being opened this morning
Today I had a most distinguished visitor - Darsie Alexander, Chief Curator of @TheJewishMuseum no less. She was here for a sneak preview of our new exhibition, Guercino at Waddesdon @WaddesdonManor
What a nice warm-up for the new season, which starts next Wednesday!

The Rothschild Foundation and Waddesdon Manor are deeply saddened to announce the death of Lord Rothschild, businessman, entrepreneur, philanthropist and cultural leader. He will be greatly missed by his family, his colleagues and his many friends.
I thought I saw something strange and green outside my window - this explains it.
I thought I saw something strange and green outside my window - this explains it.
Now, this is not to be missed, people. If only I were able to travel… although I do not in fact sport a clock. But plenty of clockwork and glamour and movement @sciencemuseum sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/zim…
Two for the price of one with this wonderful paper-cut light box by artist Nathan Ward, illustrating the ending of the story of Peter Pan. The dastardly crocodile (boo) to the left and the loyal dog/nanny Nana (hurrah) to the right #12daysofChristmas @WaddesdonManor
Next for #12daysofChristmas is one of the sparkling stags at the entrance to the Stables. We have three species of deer in the grounds @WaddesdonManor - muntjac, Chinese water deer and roe deer. Not quite as large as this though. Thankfully. #deer #stag
Next up for #12daysofChristmas here’s Nana in the Smoking Room @WaddesdonManor, the Darling children’s nursemaid in Peter Pan. JM Barrie based her on his own St Bernard, Porthos. I thought we didn’t allow dogs indoors, but I guess she does qualify as an assistance dog.
Well, I can’t do 2 turtle doves, but what about 2 penguins? Part of @WMLearningTeam schools project using The Lights that Dance in the Night by @yuvalzommer as inspiration. Made by brilliant young creative pupils. Amazing. #12daysofChristmas
Fame at last! Thank you to my friend Maeve Kennedy, to the inimitable @JonathanBetts11 and Paul Tear and of course @TheArtNewspaper @WaddesdonManor theartnewspaper.com/2023/12/01/wad…
I’ve decided to do my own #12daysofChristmas featuring all the wonderful creatures to be found in house and garden @WaddesdonManor and first up, a festive pheasant. 3D carpet bedding was introduced to Waddesdon in the 19C by Alice de Rothschild but now lights replace the plants
I shouldn’t do this, but here’s my friend the equally marvellous Meissen Turkey, made for Elector of Saxony, Augustus the Strong in 1732-5. Happy #Thanksgiving #Thanksgiving2023
@WMelephant @WaddesdonManor @WMCurators Hearing music. 🎶
This is a dormouse, Lucinda, so technically not a mouse. Although it is a rodent. Hmm. Maybe I should be a bit scared.

I can’t wait for #ChristmasatWaddesdon particularly with a paper Dormouse next door in the Dining Room, seen here with its creator Nathan Ward! @WaddesdonManor @WMCurators
Many thanks to @alva_uk for inviting us. Great to see @WaddesdonManor in such good company

It’s all go all around me at the moment. We need our genie (mechanical rather than magical) to get to the top of the trees. Christmas preparations @WaddesdonManor #Christmas
Yesterday was a great day! I was reunited with my musical base, which has been cleaned and conserved. Time for a sound check.

Waddesdon's glasshouses were commissioned by Ferdinand de Rothschild in 1882. The main complex was called Top Glass with its central aisle, widening into a palm house which led to a large dome. Photographs and visitor accounts give us a sense of variety and splendour.

Today, we celebrate turning 20 and the legacy of our founder Sir Peter Moores who, in 1993, acquired a dilapidated 18th century mansion with the view of turning into a 'gallery like no other' which he did when it finally opened to the public in March 2004. 🌲🎨
