Fed Up With The Footie?.....

....Tired of The Tennis?....Fancy a quiet stroll......then come with me.....

.......through the garden gates....

.......underneath the arches.....

.....into the grounds of a baronial pile......

....with a pretty view.......

.....fabulous wall sconces....

......on either side of a spooky-looking door.....

....which opens up into nothing more mysterious than this!....

......which was added to the 17th century house in 1961.....

......and which is behind the Clock Tower....

....fancy a cuppa?........before we discover the......

.....where fairies might live....

......bamboozled?......

......nearly there....

.....here we are.....

......cute little summer house....

.....a peek inside....

.....old-fashioned rose arbours......

...old-fashioned peonies...

....old-fashioned flag iris.......

.....and back to the main house to see the fountain with no water.....

......but some peculiar faces....

....and pretty wings....

....maybe Juliet lives here!....

......or here.....

  

.......and back through the ...........out by the back door.....

..........saying ta ta to the sheep on the way out....

.....until next time.

A Day At The Races.......

..........well, my outfit wasn't exactly the same as Eliza's but just as well because it rained relentlessly for the entire day, hence no pics....the conditions just weren't conducive or tempting enough for me to stand in the rain and click away! The good news is, I had a little flutter and won £1.50!Lucky me!It was a good day, despite the weather and was topped off in the evening by a lovely Indian meal which brought the colour back to my cheeks and thoroughly dried me out!
Before the rains came on Friday, the rest of the week had been glorious and I managed to snap away quite happily in the garden at work.......

......at the Gardener's Prize Peonies (there's a joke in there somewhere!)....

....and rhoddies.......

....FAB colour, don't you think?

.....my favourite

.....oh, and some crocheted peonies atop a tea cosy for one of my sisters!(not my best work ....it was done in a hurry but she likes it!). Pattern available here courtesy of MemeRose.

Have a great (hopefully dry) week, Everyone.

Round and Round The Garden.......

....I didn't lose my teddy bear.....one step,two step......but look what I did find there.....

........and last but not least.....

.......the humble little Buttercup....which can still hold

 its own amongst such exotic beauty....wouldn't you agree?

Especially for Betty at http://betty-thewoodfairy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/all-sorts-of-wonderful-things.html who loves walking amongst the rhoddies and Shaz http://theshabbychicbohemian.blogspot.co.uk
