We’ve had some lovely days out during my Hb’s time off work!
There have been visits to parks, woods, the seaside, gardens, mountains and canal tow paths.
We’ve played in mazes and with sun dials (I liked the human one best), we’ve looked down on the city from on high and over the sea towards Scotland, we’ve walked through trees, up mountains, beside rivers and canals and the sea. We’ve had lovely meals out, picnics and ice creams, there has been sunshine and showers but most of all we’ve taken time to smell the roses (and other flowers too)!
I wish it could be summer all the time!!! 🙂

You have really got around Vivienne and I am so pleased that the sun appeared during your Hb’s time off. Such lovely photos, the black tomatoes are amazing…I wonder if they taste as good as they look? I agree that summer is wonderful but it would have to have a Christmas day or 2 in there if it was summer all year round…LOL!! xx
Lovely photos, Looks like you did some wonderful things with your time off together, I guess its back to the normal routine now? Same for me, back to work today after 2 wonderful weeks off. T x
Looks like you’ve enjoyed some lovely days out. Beautiful photos – love the black tomatoes and the orchid!
Sounds absolutely wonderful, you’ve been so busy! I wish i could dip my feet in that river and just listen to it.
love Jooles x x x
You live in a beautiful part of the country and have obviously enjoyed your days out and about.
The places you have been are lovely and peaceful Vivienne, we have a tree fern like that in our garden the hot weather nearly destroyed it but with rain now it is growing again. Black tomatoes I have never seen I am sure they would taste good and full of vitamins. Glad you both had a lovely holiday. love & Blessing. Elizabeth x x

I’m just catching up with everyone now I’m back online after my three unplugged weeks. Yours is such a beautiful country Vivienne.
What a wonderful travelogue, Vivienne, you’ve been to some beautiful places and your pics are amazing, thank you so much for sharing them with us.
Such wonderful days out, what a great time you and your hb have been having! You live in a lovely place, Vivienne…..and so nice that you have the seaside and the countryside as well as lovely gardens to visit too.
Hope you are having a great weekend.

It looks like you’ve had some brilliant days out with your hubby, enjoying some beautiful scenery, views, countryside and gardens. It’s great when you can do all of that from your doorstep, a holiday from home!

What a lovely time you sound (and look!) to be having. I am slightly envious as M is off work at the moment, but he mainly sleeps and watched episodes of ‘Suits’ whilst lounging about in his undergarments on the sofa….too much information 😉 I think it’s the big lull after the Iron Man. I LOVE visiting gardens and country houses, can’t think of anything nicer 🙂 Bethx
