Today we went to The Vyne

Today we decided to visit the National Trust place, The Vyne near Basingstoke. On the way we stopped near Odiham, in a forestry car park for a cup of tea from our flask. There are free roaming horses in this forest and I think one especially wanted to help Dave pour our tea. He became quite a pest, and getting out of the car park was difficult too as about 7 horses were all stood in the middle of the little car park.
We were quite disappointed with the Vyne, the house was interesting inside but not very interesting from the outside and the gardens (well a border, basically) was very meagre. These are the few photos I took. Dave took some as well so maybe I'll add more tomorrow.
I've no idea what this plant is, they are poppy-like but huge, each flower the size of a saucer or small tea plate.
