On the left the gothic styled buildings of St Patrick's House (taupe stone, dark grey dormer roof), on the right the more restrained lines of New House with the walls covered in vivid red creeper. In the middle, trees and shrubs are a riot of red, orange, russet and yellow, with one tree almost obscuring the steeple of the Chapel. Grass is a vivid green, criss-crossed by grey paths.
