National Trust officials are pre warning visitors to expect a short bluebell season this year due to the exceptionally dry start to 2012 we have been enduring. Last month was the third warmest and the fifth driest on record, meaning that bluebells are likely to peak across the UK over the first two weeks of April.
The National Trust are pleased to announce that their membership numbers have now soared to a whopping four million. This also comes at a time when figures show that some 90 million people visit National Trust properties each year in the UK. That’s a lot of visitors!
The National Trust have a great offer this summer for all those people who fancy attending one of their hundreds of amazing spaces across the UK for the majority of the month of August 2011.
Now, I’m not Father Christmas, though it has been noted that I do have a rather rotund demeanour and a beard you could lose a badger in.

The National Trust have lowered the prices of their individual, joint and family memberships, plus you can now receive 12 months for the price of 9! Caring for over 300 historic houses, 700 miles of coastline and over 600,000 acres of countryside, The National Trust is the UK’s largest conservation charity.
