Anya and family came round about midday and as it was a lovely day we drove over to Burton Constable. We had lunch in the lovely cafe there, but sadly they were closing at 2 pm today so not point in the family paying to go into the grounds when there was less than an hour before closure. They did buy me a spoof Ladybird book which I think will be very funny and a Jellycat Spider!
I took a picture of the house from the stables when I went to the loo.
Then Anya took one of me in front of this house on the estate.
And one of me with Isobel outside this gorgeous little house aptly named The gardeners cottage!
We stopped off at Freeport on the way back, so some shopping and coffee!
Back home I got us all dinner and then we watched quite a silly film. Thinking about getting ready for the big dip tomorrow now!
A very happy and hopefully healthy new year to everyone. See you next year!
Sounds like a really nice day for you all. I know how much you like Burton Constable so it was a shame you couldn’t take then in there. Would have been a waste for just an hour though. Maybe in the summer at some point will be better. Some of the spoof Ladybird books are very funny. I’ve looked through quite a few of them. I’m still trying to work out what a “Jellycat” spider is, or if it was something made up by the spell checker!
ReplyDeleteA nice sit down and a silly film is a good way to end the day, and nearly the year come to that.
Hope you have a great new year too, apart from the icy cold bit in the morning! 😁
Jellycat is a brand name, they make fabulous, unusual soft toys.
ReplyDeleteWell I’ve learned something new then.
