Sunday 9am.
All is quiet in Aynhoe.
I get set up ready for the models and hair & make up artists to arrive.
The coffee's on...Log fires are lit as its -3 outside.
A freezing but beautiful sunny morning!

Started a little bit earlier this week so to catch the morning light in the dinning room.
Weather is 10/10 today which will make a huge difference to the first few shots.
