The Man Engine

Hubby and I met our friends for a rather spectacular day at Wentworth Woodhouse.
 We got there nice and early and the House maids helped straighten our picnic rug!

 The gamekeeper and his wife joined us for a natter.

 after stuffing our faces it was time for a wander around




One of Hubby's favourite sayings!












And then the Man Engine woke up.......
 Telling the story of Cornish Miners and linking it to Yorkshire.


 It was a powerful and moving experience.





Then we made our way home but not before our friends gave us a whistlestop tour of Elsecar. 





A lovely day out and very HOT!

    Wow the Machine Man looks quite a piece of engineering. What an enjoyable day - I love the old Yorkshire sayings - my family were never very broad Yorkshire but I knew people who were.

    Looks like a great event with something for everyone. Your picnic looks very tasty and summery. I'd have loved The Man Engine, it must have been a quite powerful and moving thing to see:)

    It looks like a spectacular day Lyn! I would have loved it apart from the heat. It is very hot here and set to get even hotter! Yikes!!! I'm back blogging at Linden Grove again now. I missed it like an old familiar friend. x

    Ooh, what a fab day! I loved the three strong men in the human pyramid. The costumes look great. I would love to take part in some of those workshops. Wentworth looks amazing and the Man engine is fab!
