Florida tomorrow. I got the first bargain of the day for 50p! Never get all of the back!
A great motorbike in the car park as we were leaving.
Had a chat with Any before we left to go to Burton Constable. Darren had an archery competition and I thought I would go round the house today and maybe do a sketch inside. There was a craft fair on there and that’s where I got the second bargain of the day, this little metal wren was £2.60.
They have one of the rats in the grounds.
I asked at the desk in the house if it was okay to do a sketch, she said she had never been asked that before but couldn’t see why not. I took photos round the house while I looked for a suitable spot to sit and draw. They do have shirts dotted round for the visitors to use.
I did a sketch sitting at the end of the long landing.
I went over to watch the archery for a bit.
I got the car key of Darren so that I could collect a few plants that I had bought.
I then went and did. Very quick sketch in one of the courtyards before we came home.
Got on with dinner when I got in then watched the very tense Euros match which England won on penalties.
Just watered the bonsais and now relaxing and feeling tired.
50p is a bargain. My cake carrier is sitting on top of the kitchen cupboard, ready to go back to you when convenient. I’ll have to do a swap when this years cake arrives 😊
ReplyDeleteI do like the motorbike. I’d like one like that. Saves you having to put your feet down when you stop!
You do manage to find lots of bargains when you’re out. The wren was extremely cheap considering it’s metal.
How many rats are there in the collection, and how many have you seen?
I think it’s polite to ask if it’s ok to sketch. People tend to take everything for granted these days. The sketches are very good as usual.
That’s a very nice collection of pics this evening. I really enjoyed looking through them. It’s a great house. I particularly like the round seat with the palm tree 😊
I might have guessed you’d buy plants 😂
Nice way to round off the day watching England win ⚽️
How did Darren do in the competition?
Darren came second so no trophy but pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fascinating house and well maintained with lovely guides.
I enjoyed sitting tucked out of the way, the house was surprisingly quiet today.
The plants were very reasonable as well, think it will be a gardening day tomorrow.
It is mail biting watching the football, but at least with the ladies they never give up and it was great for them to win the Euros again.
Well done England.......and Darren 🙂
