As mentioned in my last post during July my Hb and I have had some lovely days out visiting gardens, parks, castles and the seaside.
The weather didn’t always behave itself but in this country if you waited for the sun to always shine, well quite frankly you wouldn’t get very far.
So these are just a few photos of some of our days out.
The above photo is the lovely lavender lined paths in the gardens at Clotworthy House at Antrim Castle Gardens.
Antrim Castle gardens are always well worth a visit.
Another place well worth the visit is the walled garden at Bangor Castle, it is particularly well cared for with many flowers, shrubs, vegetables and herbs.
These amazing sunflowers (my favourite flowers) were at the entrance to Ward Park, Banger, Co Down, for a moment I actually could have believed I was back in France, the sun was even shining that day!!
Somewhere else we always love to visit at this time of year is Sir Thomas & Lady Dixon Park in Belfast for ‘Rose Week’.
The roses are stunning!!
Just a shame I can’t share the scent.
Of course no summer would be complete without a visit to the seaside (cue the not-so-sunny skies again).
The seaside photos were all taken at Groomsport, Co Down.
It wasn’t a day for playing in the sand and making sand castles but we did enjoy a lovely walk!
Speaking of sand, I’d like you to meet my new little bunny….her name is Sandy and she’s a beachy kind of girl!
Thank you to those of you who took the time to comment on my last post.
Just as I was about to publish it I realised it was my 500th post, so I had a little secret giveaway of all you lovelies who left a comment on that post and the number chosen was 13, who was Helen, so a little pack of goodies are on their way to you Helen.
Again thank you to all of you who so faithfully visit and leave me a comment, I really do appreciate them all.
Wishing you all a happy new week! 🙂
