The weather on Sunday enticed me though.
The husband was at work so it was a chance to catch up with a friend.
We stretched our legs, the children ran, found mud, dragged branches, built booby traps and slept well that night.
The grown ups walked, chatted and indulged in cream teas.
As usual the camera phone snapped away.
On a day like this you can see for miles with the views stretching across to Bristol and over to the Severn Crossings. The trees provided hours of fun and the snowdrops were in full bloom. A quiet courtyard for a lunch of cream teas and refuelling of energy. In the gardens and grounds we spotted bees, more snowdrops, natural arches, vegetables growing and, of course, sticks.
A great space to run free or just still sit and admire.

ReplyDeleteFriends were married in the church at Dyrhum - it was a beautiful setting for a wedding with photos taken by the lake - however we didn't really get much time to have a look around. Wasn't remains of the Day filmed there? I love that film.
ReplyDeleteI love Dyrham Park. Sounds like you had a lovely day, what's better than blowing away the cobwebs and then eating cream and scones - nothing!
ReplyDeleteYeah Sunday was a good day and sounds like you spent in one of the best ways.
ReplyDeleteAh this looks like such a lovely day. Your pictures are beautiful. I love the little snowdrop they have such lovely faces. And a bonus of cream tea and scones, mmmm

ReplyDeleteYou had a good day for it. Busy bees enjoying the break too. Haven't been to Dyrham Park for a while. Your photos remind me to add it to my list #CountryKids
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and picturesque place to explore. Children always find a stick for their adventures and with trees and mud - what more could they want! Thanks for linking up and sharing your outdoor fun with Country Kids.
ReplyDeleteOh the scones! Feeling a rumble in my tummy just looking at that! Looks like a gorgeous day and that hill looks like it would be perfect for kite flying!
