Beautiful sun shine

When we are lucky enough to wake up to beautiful sun shine you know you have to make the most of it.

Therefore we had our breakfast and got ready for a little trip up the road to here.

Stourhead Gardens.

Even the children like to have a wonder around.

The Gothic Cottage

 The Pantheon 

 

The beautiful Rhododendron's

Flynn in the Grotto

The temple of Apollo.

You may recognize this from the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.

Oh and the bridge in this photo was also used in the film.

It was a lovely way to spend the morning

Well not sure what we're up to over the weekend but whatever it is I hope the sun is going to come out and play.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Hello

I LOVE BLOGLAND !

I've spent many hours in other people's homes drinking tea, sitting in a comfy armchair by an open fire or on a bench out in their garden listening to their adventures they've had that week or looking at their gorgeous handmade items. 

That's how I feel when I'm reading your blogs, you all write so beautiful and your photo's are so full of life, so crisp and clear I feel as though I've been transported in to your homes.

I've been popping in and out of blogland for five or six years now I've even given it a go myself once or twice (more like five or six) with not much success. So Why am I giving it another go? I enjoy writing, taking photo's, I love knitting and many other crafts, taking care of my home and family so I have plenty to write about even if it does take my all day to get one post done.

I would love to have a successful blog, but I'm sure that takes time, hard work and consistency. 

Well not much in my life has been consistent over the last few years until now.

 About 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder and although this was a shock at first and there has been many ups and downs we think (doctors and I) that we have found the right combination of medications and life has been pretty good and consistent for a while now. Therefore I thought I would give blogging one last go.

Thank you for stopping by I would love it if you would stop and say hello.

( One of my favourite places)

STOURHEAD.
