Biddulph

Sam whisked me out for the day in her lovely little silver Alpha Spider yesterday .. what a treat! First off we went to the Country Park near Knypersly, which was full of bluebells ... I walked all round one of the lakes, which felt pretty much of an achievement!

Then we had a pub lunch (including the new fave-health food du jour: CHIPS!) before pottering over to Biddulph Grange.. which was lovely as ever .. and then you just cant go to these National Trust places without having a drink and a piece of homemade-style cake, can you?
.. I'll be the size of the back of a bus again in due course ..

lovely pictures Sue. The idea of not eating a goodly slice of National Trust cake would just be out and out rude.

Do you mean the little furry friend B!? The pics are fab Sam - I think walking in bluebell woods is a very healing thing. We have some lovely ones up near my house and every time I catch sight of the blue it lifts my heart.
Have a great weekend you two.

BTW - cake is essential to ground the lifted heart!

LOL @ Liz. I had tried to take a photo of a gorgeous busy-tailed squirrel, but by the time I'd faffed with said camera apparatus, he'd mooched along onto pastures new.

Photos never quite do beautiful scenes justice but they do go some way to jogging the memory and relifting the spirit. As Suze quite rightly pointed out, you can't beat the photographic capabilities of the personal memory bank.

Have a lovely, lovely weekend you two. Enjoy the pre-birthday celebrations B. Suze, make sure you take some photos of the actual view from your room... here's hoping its truly AMAZING.

Lots of love to you both.

Hi Sue, Glad u b out & about. The pics are very colorful & those gardens at Bid., Grange is a venue I've wanted to visit & never got round 2. It b on my 2do list 4 future.
Anyway, bowt me, I am on anti-biotics yet again so I won't c u till infect., b gone. I did wonder if that lovely Nuffield had a micro germ lurk & find me as hospitals r great 4 dishing out things, but I don't loose any sleep over it & am glad I went. 1 day I may ask doctor why I got infect., 3 times on trot with short gap between.
Anyway, had gud time out last nite dispite 'bug' at 40th birthday party bash.
I will have 2 get back 2 finding a poem 4 u & getting rid of this 'mystery bug' so I can visit u again.
Love 2 u & yours. Cousin Poe. xx
