what a difference!


I can't believe it was a week ago I was wandering around in sandals and soaking up the sun!

the thunder lightning, hail and rain on Thursday made it feel like a distant memory!

We enjoyed a wonderful day with my mum at Tatton Hall Garden last Saturday.

It is a National trust house, garden and park in Cheshire.

With a beautifully restored Kitchen Garden




In the rose garden was a beautiful pool. The garden was made for Lady Egerton in 1913.

Next to the Rose Garden was the Tower garden,

Then we walked through the Arboretum

Past the award winning Japanese Garden



then we visited the Fernery



And the Italian Garden in front of the hall.


It was almost 5pm but still lovely and warm

We strolled back towards the car

past the carousel


That was last Saturday.......today was grey and miserable
but I had a lovely time in Manchseter

we went to see Grease the musical......it was Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong!

  1. We're experiencing wonderful weather, however this time of year we know it's here for only the time being.

    AND, we could use some rain.

  4. Lucky you made the most of that good weather. Your visit looked delightful. The English really do gardens well don't they?

  8. Oh, stop it, stop it, you're killing me with these gorgeous photos!! I want to BE there, in that garden!
    At least we're finally getting some nice weather here in AZ - but it's supposed to go back up to the 90's this week..ugh.
    Thanks for the pretty pics, as always.

  9. Hubby noticed that the temperature had dropped by 24 degrees in 4 days!!! It made me want to move somewhere that was warm the whole time. xxx

  10. We went to Tatton in the Summer and I loved the gardens especially the kitchen, rose and tower gardens. I would have loved to see more of the Japanese garden but it was closed off. I thought the Fernery was spectacular. The weather certainly has changed during this week:)

  11. I like the two gate photos and the one of the tower best. It does look lovely and sunny and warm, at least you have the photos to look back on.

  15. Looks like a great day out, I do love to visit gardens, sadly unless there's a playground attached the kids are less excited. Fab photos of the carousel, it reminds me of a drawing project from my foundation course at Hull fair, I always think of that when I see such beautifully painted horses. Bethx

  16. Beautiful photos of Tatton Hall - well worth a visit I think. My treat is a trip to South Pacific in Manchester at the end of the month.

  17. Tatton Hall Gardens look spectacular. My favourite would have to be The Japanese Garden: so perfect and magical.
