Colour at Westonbirt & The Lakes

what lovely pictures ~ and that rainbow ~ all those colours look almost strange now from our white land!

Lovely pictures, and lots of wonderful colour Lulu, Glad Prudence enjoyed her hol's too.

Agree with both of you, lovely photos

Very nice to see some colour instead of deathly white snow all the time :o)))
What a fantastic place to go for a holiday too ....

Smashing set of pics :o)))

Lovely pics Lulu, cant believe its 25 years since Ive been to Westonbirt and its just up the road a bit!
Fantastic shots at Kentmere too.

Thank you Lulu for the brilliant and interesting shots of what is a wonderful place. just my cupatea.

It was a brilliant holidaybut poor dogs it went a little like this.....
In the car, out the car, up & down the fell, in the car, out the car into a pub and then another! And so it went on!! Next year we will be taking 3 big dogs, when Slugs has grown up a bit!! Maybe fell walking will tire her out!! At the moment she is helping me clean the house and wrap presents...NOT!

Lovely blog Lulu hope you an Prudence have heated up.
Merry Christmas.

Lovely blog and pictures Lulu..we never managed to get to Westonbirt,when we were down there in November,but will get there one day.The Lakes pics are stunning too,is that Wastwater in the bottom?.looks very much like it.Glad you and your dogs had a good time...Merry Christmas to you and your family..:o))

WOW, Amazing photos Lulu, simply gorgeous, I love the kneelers in that church, a lot of love has gone into those! Also love the old boot covered in moss, hope the owner of them isn't ?? Lol.

Yes! Wonder what happenened to the owner of the boots?! I have another shot of both boots might put in onto my profile.

Westonbirt is a wonderfulplace, isn't it. It's lovely to be able to take dogs into part of it, as well.

I wish I could do needlepoint like that - they really are a labour of love. I wonder how long they took to make?

Your photos are a real treat - thank you. :-)

I know Spritz, they really were the best I have ever seen. Not patient enough for needlepoint me, but I did so admire them.

I used to do tapestry, but never needlepoint. I wonder how different it is....

Oh, I so enjoyed that Lulu...all of it. I can just imagine what it is like to be at Westonbirt in the autumn....wow! I do love trees! Then the amazing lakes...how I love the Lakes, I haven't been there for years...we have the West Highlands to explore of course. And those kneelers too....amazing to see the skill that has gone into them, and a very rare thing to see a church building looking so loved. Thank you so much for saving this for a rotten winters day!

Karen, we have to meet half way!! Or you come stay and we will go see Westonbirt, because it really IS magical/ X And as for the kneelers, well.....fab indeed x

What a lovely idea Lulu!...both of them! :))

What a wonderful place, Westonbirt, looks to be! Fantastic colour in those trees! :-))

Very interesting to read about your walks in the Lake District. You also captured a great photo of the rainbows! You didn't take any spades with you, did you? If you had you might have found that pot of gold that's supposed to be at the end of the rainbow! LOL! :-D

I just can't belive that I never have have a spade when I need one, but maybe one day.................I will x
