Haddon Hall...again!

It's a lovely place. The sort of place I like to visit.
I enjoyed seeing that knotwork garden. Don't know why but I always like those. (well I call them 'knotwork gardens' lol don't know their proper name)
Nice to see you both enjoying your holiday :o)

Lovely. A great relaxing holiday by the looks of things.

it does look a lovely place to go Bloomer, great blog :-)

Sure did B. lovely photo of you both there.....aaah. so nice. Glad you all had a lovely day. It all looks so green and lush.

Hey Sandra I missed reading the Information on the gardens, it must have been because I was so engrossed in the talk the guide gave us lol I love all the pictures especially your favourite mine too!!

Looks like a wonderful place to visit. Loved looking at the photos you took.

Thank you so much Bloomer for sharing this wonderful view, really amazed of the place and really like the lovely picture of you and Carole, very pretty:-)))))))

Thank you,Hywel..pleased you enjoyed it..think it's just called Knot garden,but hey,what's another extra word ..it really was well planted out,I loved it too :o)
.....
Thanks Cinders..it is a lovely place,we enjoyed it so much
.........
Thank you,for your nice comment,S.lad..:o)
........
Thanks G.mage..you would think we were best buddies ,wouldn't you ? ..not far wrong there :o)
.........
Now,Carole...You didn't tell anyone we almost got slapped wrists from her did you? for previously eating our packed lunch in the gardens! ,,Apparently folks,it isn't allowed,but on saying sorry,we hadn't seen any signs to the contrary..we were told the owner doesn't approve of negative signs..we felt like naughty Schoolchildren.! just our luck to bump into her again in the Dining room,of all places ..and as she was going on.. and on ..and on..about her part in the filming there..Harry dropped the bag he was hiding behind his back,with the remains of the aforementioned packed lunch! Lol...so funny....I wonder what she would have said if we had been sitting at that wonderful table ! ..very pompous lady,full of her own importance..but we did laugh,afterwards :o)
............
Thank you Dwylis..it was a great day out,and we were very happy,as you can see :o)
.............
Thank you,Junna..a truly beautiful place to spend an afternoon..glad you liked it :o)

Looks fabulous, Bloomer!

I liked the knotwork garden too...

...but not as much as the topiary...backside of a rabbit? and the elephant on his hunkers! :D

And...did you, eventually, muscle in on those seats??? lol! ;D

Thanks Karen..lol about the topiary :o)..if you notice,some pics have the date on ..these were Russell's pics..so I can't take the credit ! Lol...and ..sadly no...we pushed and pushed,but they must have been superglued down ..haha..x

Bl**dy tourists...so annoying! LOL!

Off to bed now...OH home...
...but it's not what you're thinking!!!
He's been travelling since yesterday...and I'm on my next cours de cuisine tomorrow at 9...pasta and lobster...

...I just hope I don't have to kill the lobster...!

xx

Lol,Goodnight and good luck tomorrow..at least you won't need many untensils..just two pans of boiling water...sorry ,that's awful,isn't it? It would have to be something from the chippy for me !
I'm logging off too..Downton Abbey just started..new series :o) x

Ha ha, isn't it awful to be told off like that lol, wish I'd have been there....I'd have pulled faces behing her back ....very brave me:-) I bet you couldn't stop laughing afterwards. Such a beautiful place, too nice to be spoiled by a rude guide:-)

Lovely place and great pics - well done Russell!! I had that same lecture when I went to Plas Newydd on Anglesey - the moment my tupperware box came out of my bag!! they do love there little bit of authority!

Lol,Ba and Neellan..She kept us standing so long,I thought I was going to pass out..so I finally managed to get a word in,and told her I needed to sit down..all the chairs had a Teasel on them ! Lol..a subtle hint,not to sit there..which is fair enough..and she found me one,with a a white protective cover on..and marched off at last ! :o)
Thought we were going to have to stay over :o))
All it needed,was a notice as you were going in to the
Hall,and we would have eaten outside...methinks they wanted you to buy something from the tatty looking cafe,before we went in..not the nicest place to sit,on a sloping gravel area ! ..oh,and by the way,we DID finish our packed lunch,although she said to finish what we were eating,and go elsewhere..I think Harry was about to tell her where to go ! Lol.

I was outside on a bench!! couldn't believe it so I went on a walk about in the garden and ate my lunch there perched on a wall good job it was a sunny day :o)

Wonderful place to visit ... lovely blog :o)

Thank you Terra..pleased you enjoyed it :o) x

You must have seen it at its very best, it's immaculate.

You look very much at home there too, as if you sort of belong to that style of living!! :-) Downton comes to mind!!!

Thanks Wildrose..wouldn't it be lovely to work in those gardens? ..I love Downton Abbey..:o) I think I would be relegated to the kitchens..another 'Dotty' more like ..Lol.
