Yay, Photos ... And A Mini Update
I am working today, but not until 4.30, so it was nice to not set the alarm, and have a lazy breakfast. Still washing is on the line, and I hope to get it in before I head off later.
I am hoping to get out this afternoon for a walk, so today is partly a day for just unwinding. See, I do listen to what my consultant told me ... and maybe even listen to my body occasionally!
Well, as I said, last week Christine and I headed up to North Devon to go to Arlington Court ... the family home, and Church, of the Chichester family. )Most of us have heard of Sir Francis Chichester who was a famous sailor.) So, here are a few photos from the day ....
The Church -
The family coat-of-arms -
In honour of the coronation -
(Sorry, but I don't like the wallpaper)
Vision of the Circle of Life - William Blake 1821
There is also a Carriage Museum as part of the collection, but I haven't yet sorted those photos, so they will come soon.
Now, before I post this -
9 - Book Lovers Day: Do you love books? Have you always been a reader? Did your parents read to you when you were young? What were some of your favourite books or authors as a child? How has your taste in books evolved over time?
I love books, although I suppose I read within a fairly settled set of genres. I have loads of history and travel books, that I love ... but also read WWI & WWII fiction, as well as the light Regency Romance (like Georgette Heyer). And, my Kindle is always busy with fan-fic ... thanks AO3.
However I read Anne of Green Gables (the full set of 8) for the first time, when I was 10, and re-read the full set last year. So there are some things that will never change.
Right, let's get on - see you tomorrow x
