T Stands For…………taking some walks.

Once again it has come around to T Day so quickly…well, yes, we have been away and that always seems to go so quickly anyway but last week seemed extra busy!
First I would like to show you my page for Out and About - Yvonne's great theme at Art Journal Journey! Having seen Jo's Paris page on her blog(here) I thought it about time I made one about my favourite city!

I used a postcard that I bought a few years ago, a carnet, a map cut from a card advertising a hotel and I stamped the Eiffel tower onto some Infusions sprinkled deli paper!The background started as a mop up but has had stencilling and stamping added.
I also have a tag that I would like to enter at 
Tag Tuesday where the theme is 'Birds and nests' and also 
Simon Says Monday challenge - 'Things with Wings'

Now, we did manage to get out for some walks in the sun so if you don't mind I will save our York trip for another time.Also if you have urgent tasks to do I must warn you that this may take a while!!
We went up to our caravan last Thursday and on Friday decided to use our 2 for 1 passes to visit Rydal Mount - Wordsworth's last home! We have never managed to visit in Spring to see the daffodils!
You will probably recognise the first verse to his poem….

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

There were daffodils everywhere in the main garden attached to the house…...

….and lots of other things to see - this is the little shed where Wordsworth sat to write sometimes.

We could see Dora's field - planted with daffodils after Wordsworth's daughter died……….

 …but couldn't see how to get in - we asked Dora the cat but she sent us to the gardener who told us we had to go out and down the hill and through the churchyard.

I have never seen so many daffodils together…

…a wonderful experience!

 After all this walking up and down steps we headed to Ambleside for some lunch…

This is where I join Elizabeth for T Stands For Tuesday …..

…and confess that we were so delighted to eating outdoors in a lovely sunny space that I forgot to take a photo of the delicious wild boar burgers that we had!!!
I did get these two shots though...

Now, I could continue and show you where my son's took us yesterday - a lovely garden in Cheshire that we had never visited - Abbeywood Gardens, and Dunham Massey where we went this morning before shopping but you would be here for far too long - I will give you a couple of shots but that's it for tonight - it is very nearly Tuesday here….

..and I'm away to my bed!
I'll be here tomorrow, although we have a cinema trip planned - Odeon's Silver Screen!!

Thanks for looking, Chrisx
