A fantastic new discovery for us. Thank you to our friend Rosie for pointing us in the right direction. Wish we had known about it when Mike's daughter and grandchildren visited us from Australia last year...another time we hope!
A wonderful walk around the lake.
A place to cool off.
Plenty of space.
Something for the girls to watch :-))
The Horne family...looks like Steve is limbering up to blow one:-) !!
One of my beautiful birthday presents...a perfumed tea that slowly opens into a flower. C'est magnifique! Merci mon amie.
A beautiful drive up to Allendale in Northumberland passing a glorious field that would have been worthy of a Monet painting! C'est trés joli.
Sunday was another glorious day with lots more fruit and vegetables on show. A light shower of rain earlier in the morning had refreshed everything and it all looked tremendous. The missing fruit was indeed strawberries and cherries as seen in picture above. The birds would have had a wonderful midnight feast if they had been displayed the day before n'est-ce pas?
Look Mummy a fruit and veg scarecrow - trés different!
A room with a view!
Do you know your onions!
C'est trés joli.
So bananas do grow on trees after all!
Interesting headgear.
Shall we dance.
Do I have too?
Just so cute and colourful!
Then it's all over and the display is pulled down. Fruit & veg placed into boxes and sold for 10 euros. Proceeds to a cancer charity.
During the afternoon there were several fruity competitions. See what you can make out of a melon, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes and strawberries.
An interesting take on the 1970's hedgehog!
Okay, so who ate the E!
A strong armed Madame. She was first in the queue!
One last display..umm..perhaps I should have but the best last!
