I forgot my camera!

This afternoon we met my Mum and Step dad at Upton Park, it's is a lovely place quite near us, unfortunately I forgot to take my camera so I'm going to have to post pictures from the internet.
This is the main house, it's now been licensed for weddings and there's a lovely walled garden that they shut when a wedding is on and they put up gazebos, if the weather is nice I would imagine it would be the perfect setting.


 This is a closer view


This is the back of the house, next to where the cars are parked is a square of grass with a wall and beyond that wall is a huge field with a duck pond on one side of it and a wood at the bottom of it, it really does have everything there.

 This next picture shows some of the more formal gardens, this is called the "walled garden" The flowers and bushes in there are also beautiful when they are all in bloom.


This picture is brilliant because the man and lady serving are called John and Maureen, they live three doors away from us and they volunteer at the plant centre there. We often pop in to see them and have a chat when we visit the park. You're more likely to catch them up there than at home.



I've just done loads of ironing, the boys are playing outside with their friends again. They are sleeping so well with all this running, cycling and fresh air!
Got to go and start making some tea, see you soon!

  1. It looks like a lovely place. I've got a little pocket camera that I keep in my bag, it's handy if I'm out somewhere and haven't got my proper camera with me. This weather's glorious, isn't it? I've done three loads of washing today, put it on the line and it's all dried, I've brought it in, ironed it and it's all put away. Can you see my halo gleaming?

  4. Looks like you're having a great Easter Break. Hope you're managing to get some you time too. Upton Park looks lovely. I'm pretty good at taking my camera if I know I'm going somewhere it's when D does an impromptu detour somewhere whilst we're out that it throws me into chaos. I can now take pics on my phone so I do manage some pics along the way.

    1. The silly thing is that I had my phone on me so I could have taken some pictures, but I forgot to do that too! I blame it on the sunshine! I'm just not use to it!! X
