My computer is playing up so I might not get this done today.
Today was grey and dull and I woke up in a bad mood and I have not got much done at all except watch marmalade bubble on the hob.

I drove over to my mums house and picked her up for a day out.

After a lovely warming late lunch in the cafe we drove home.
On Thursday I got the train to Manchester to meet up with two friends. It was another very cold grey day.
First stop was the Craft and Design Centre.
Then onto the Manchester City Art Gallery.
The out side of which was beautifully decorated with spring flowers.
Have you noticed we found lots of indoors things to do?
After eating late we rushed back to the station for the train home. It was trying to snow.
The photos from Rode Hall are gorgeous! It's not far from here but I've been putting off my visit as the snowdrops were not so good when I went in half term last year. I thought I'd give them a bit longer to come out before going this year.
ReplyDeleteThat day out in Manchester sounds good too. I had to go to Manchester this week too, but not for a nice day out, it was for laser treatment again.
Hope you're in a happier mood soon.
Hope you are in a better mood my chum! Faberooni photos - what camera do you use? I'm looking to get a new point and shoot. xxxxxxx
ReplyDeletePS - its me Diane - looks as if Becky has been on my laptop!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting places to see and pictures of lovely flowers too. thanks so much for taking the time to take photos so that we can see them all as well. Joan
ReplyDeleteSNOWDROPS! The best flowers! Featured in Country Living, too. We are still in the midst of winter here, with more snow on the way tonight, so your photos are very welcome this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon, Lyn.

Snowdrop envy! I found one in the woods but you found an abundance!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fireplace!
ReplyDeleteAnother great post. Love the painting where a couple are having afternoon tea. It's so evocative of a time gone by. Love the photo with the many layers of paint and of course, the snowdrops. Hope you're feeling better soon. This weather is enough to give anyone the grumps.

Well Lyn you have certainly made the most of half term week and what lovely days out you've had. Your photos are great. I love snowdrops too and can't wait to take a trip to our local RHS garden at Hyde Hall to see them in abundance.

Fabulous photos, those irises look especially beautiful. You have certainly made the most of your break.
ReplyDeleteSpring is just around the corner, we will all feel less grumpy then.

Another wonderful post, Lyn! So nice to see lovely spring flowers - there are none to be seen here! I love the photo of the wooden gate with peeling paint, and the artwork you chose to photograph really appealed to me. looking forward to Part 3!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Lyn. I am in a bad mood too so you are not alone! x

Ps I've sent my cheque off
You certainly made the most of your half term! And had some very nice days out too, by the look of it. Yes, it was bitterly cold. Roll on spring!

I love the art gallery in Manchester. And the floral arrangements outside are particularly beautiful, adding some welcome colour to an often grey city.
