a couple of days in the lakes

This place looks fantastic Sandra, definitely on my wish list.

Oh yes, I'm pleased you pointed out which one was Neptune, I wouldn't have been able to guess otherwise! Lol (Sorry Baz, didn't mean it!)

Lovely and so nice you saw it all in the sunshine. I hope you appeared as interested in the car museum!

it was fantastic ian, you would love it, easy access for you both to which is a bonus im sure you agree ;o)), wont tell baz lol ;o))
peony i was so interested,,,, well for 10 mins yawn lol

There`s nothing boring about these lovely photos Sandra, if you have more to share I`d love to see them. I loved Neptunes Waterfall and the one of you hugging the tree made me smile. I wish I could visit there some time. :o)

looks like a lovely place to visit Sandra,not been here but heard lots about it my guess is you will be wanting a waterfall either side of your front door now lol..:o)

thankyou so much sandra glad you enjoyed them, i will put some in my pics when i get chance ;o))

Looks a fabulous place Sandra I could spend a week there! lovely pictures thanks for the tour;0)

thought you might have been there carole, its wonderfull, said to baz i could live there so pretty, glad you enjoyed it ;o))

I have been to the lakes quite a lot Sandra but mainly walking , it is one of my favourite places and hopefully in the future I will get to Visit Holker;0)

i use to go as a child and also each year before baz came along, thats why i want him to get into visiting places in our country rather than always going abroad, yorkshire on friday for overnight stay, so two full days ;o))

This was one of the places that I allways wanted to visit on our holidays in the Lake district but I never did. It has a garden festival as well,it looks as nice as I thought it would.

sorry you didnt get to see it mavic you would have loved it, glad i could bring it to you ;o))

lovely blog & photos...looks a lovely place to visit

cheers elsiemay it sure is and not over priced either ;o) well worth it

Lovely pics in both the blogs San, somewhere I would really like to visit :-))

Great blog and fabulous photos too, San, thank you for the wonderful tour! How I wished I lived nearer! :~))

thankyou so much annella, hope you get to go one day, you will defernatly want to go back ;o))
cheers flori i wish you lived nearer to, we could go visit some places together, would be fun ;o))

Great blog San, I love that big fern!!!

You, me and Alan T from B&Q! What a great day out that would be, San, lol! You could be my partner in crime~how many years do you think we would get for taking a full sizes cardboard cutout out for a day trip or two, do you think, San? LOL!

Now I've lost it!

lol flori wouldnt that be so funny,they have taken allan down in our B&Q now, think cause summer sales are over now, so get down your store and ask for your life size allan NOW! hahaha

lol pip, they have allan tichmarsh life size cardboard advertising at our DIY stores here, flori and i love allan lol(garden presenter) you have probably heard of him

I have heard the name...

It's like having a lifesize Dr Harry at the pet shop, holding the heartworm tablets. "Pets are better with Supacoat!"

Oh Pip, didn't mean to baffle you, this is an old joke that San and I have shared a while back~you way tooooo young to appreciate the charms of Alan Titchmarsh, but San and I~we are at the perfect age to appreciate his finer points! LOL!

Well I'll just leave you old fogies to it then ;o)

lol pip ;o))
lol flori well put haahah

lol pip little monkey hahaha

We just have discerning good taste, young whippersnapper! Your turn will come, I have already read about your silver streak, Pip! ( I am assuming that was in regards to your hair, and not a naturists mad dash risking exposure, across the surburban parts of good old Oz???)

sounds alovely place to visit!

lol flori think pip is in bed now ;o))
thanx arlene it was lovely ;o))

Have to agree its a great place, i enjoyed it when i last went.:o))

glad you did carol ;o)

Hi Sandra - I got here...I'm sure we 'did' visit Holker Hall a lot of years ago - thanks for the photos, it's a lovely place. Remind me please - is it National Trust?

thanx barbara, yes it is national trust ;o))

I thought it was...:-)

I certainly wouldn't do my silver streaking in the suburbs! The outback is much more conducive of that kind of thing!

beautiful pics Sandra and a lovely garden. I expect they have more than one gardener there to keep it like that. It seems that you and Baz had a great time ;-)

How wonderful Sandra......thanks for showing us your lovely photos.....

thanx richard im sure they have a few gardeners there, but what i liked it was a real family garden, not the type you dare not walk in certain places in fear of spoiling something, it was so relaxing and was the house to , we had a wonderfull time ;o))
hi maureen, glad you enjoyed them ;o))

Thanks Sandra you will have to tell us when you are having your next garden venture ;-)

will do richard ;o))
