Saturday was sunny! yes we had a lovely day without rain...the day we were going home!
Anyone recognise the bridge above?
we planned to visit the house where this movie was filmed in 2006
It is a fascinating story read an article about it here.
If you are ever in the area I recommend trying to catch a tour of the house. The website is here.
And you get a lovely cup of tea and cakes in the dining room at the end of the house tour.
So after a lovely visit we had to leave Stokesay Court and drive home.
The food and drink was served in vintage china!
Do you like the silk scarf I found in a charity shop in Shropshire?
Your photos just keep on getting better and better! And love the scarf and all those vintage tea cups! I'm not wildly into 'vintage' stuff (I remember it all too well first time around!) but love pretty tea cups - they've never been out of fashion as far as I'm concerned.

Beautiful pictures, thank you for sharing them :-) I especially like the shot of the flowers/vase in front of the window, and looking up at the window with the roses.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. You look very elegant in your headscarf.

Ah! The first house looks like the one I grew up in--!! Just kidding of course! But I would love to visit it one day.
ReplyDeleteWow what fantastic houses. I love that film & have watched it many times. You look lovely in your head scarf x
ReplyDeleteLooks like the gardens are loving all the rain you have had. That little house with the big next to it look so lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous houses - both of them. And the Christening looks fab! The scarf is beautiful, but I had to laugh at your photo! Your so funny XXXX
ReplyDeleteBoth houses are beautiful, they're just the type of place I like to visit. You look very royal and posh with that headscarf :-)
ReplyDeleteI want to visit!!! Great!
ReplyDeleteI love your tours! Where is the bridge from? It does look familiar. Love that countryside and hope that I could visit someday.

All lovely stuff. That house tour sounds fantastic, right up my street!
ReplyDeleteHello Queen Lyn! Great photos, especially the stunning allium head of flowers! x
ReplyDeleteJust a note to say, Lyn, that I find the side bar with all those words in yellow very hard to read on the pale green background.

ReplyDeleteHi Lynn
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting post with some nice photos.
Hi Diana
But my main reason for this comment is that I wanted to let you know that I've "nominated" you for the Sunshine Blogger award. http://greatacre.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/and-the-nominations-are/
As I was nominated I decided to continue the chain and use it as a way of expressing recoginition to some bloggers I enjoy reading.
Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work!

Lyn, thanks, loved the outing! Great houses and two interesting trips. Love the scarf too. Kx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and how nice does all that mis-matched china look! Oh how I wish this whole vintage and homemade thing was 'in' when I had got married, we would have had a very different wedding (not that mine wasn't nice, but I do love the whole handmade vibe that you can buy/hire & made these days). Looks like you had a lovely time. Bethx (the linen cat)
