Crook Hall and Gardens

Crook Hall and Gardens, Durham, UK

This was a popular tourist attraction and wedding venue previous to the corona virus but then it had to be sold. I was worried it may go into ruin again but the National Trust bought it last year so it has been saved. [although it is more expensive to visit] If you would like to read about the history of the place which goes back to to 1217 click this link.

Old Ceramics

Two ceramic parts of a wall seen in the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, Santorini

Sardinia

I've just come back from a lovely holiday in Sardinia.

Above is a photo of cork trees.

We visited a museum one day when it was raining and saw this rack of shoe forms and this unusual picture frame below.

On the day we were coming home I was up earlier and caught the sun rising.

Windows and Walls

I had a trip to Roker Harbour today, it's not far away but I've not been for years. There are new buildings and walkways since I last went. I came across these sculptures set in some of the walls. Actually there were a lot more of them but I just took a selection with my phone camera, so the picture quality is not great.

Home Again

I don't know if anyone noticed but I've not been posting for a week as I've been to Cyprus for a holiday. The sea was a lovely blue and turquoise.

Spot the cat? 

There were a lot of feral cats over there, I'm not sure if this one was as it looked a bit fatter than the others, but I don't think it was for sale.

Flowers, Creatures and Biscuit

A friend brought me this cute biscuit back from a trip to Japan.

It was a wafer with a choccy centre.

In my garden at the moment I have lots of bluebells.

I don't know what these lovely pink flowers are called

and pink bluebells

I don't normally like to see snails, but this little one was quite cute.

This wasp spent a long time, more than a day crawling around on this orchid but I found it dead on the soil the morning after.
