We also plan a cinema trip in the afternoon - the Silver Screen showings have restarted after the school holidays and we want to see a comedy called 'Going In Style'
We went out with two of our Grandchildren and their Dad on Bank Holiday Monday to Lyme Park.
It was a lovely warm day and we had a gentle walk around the gardens. There was also a very strange coincidence here(see later in this post)
The cafe was shut too so I am taking you back to Hereford for T Stands for Tuesday over at Bluebeard and Elizabeths The Altered Book Lover blog
The cathedral, as I showed you last week, was so impressive!
They are replacing some of the stonework and the stone mason was working outside.
Now for the strange coincidence…my birthday appeared on the entrance ticket to Lyme Park - the house was celebrating the travels of one of the owners of Lyme Park
Happy T Day!
Thanks for looking, Chris

You always go to such fascinating place and see so many cool things Chris. I enjoy my arm chair travels with you. Happy T day. hugs-Erika
Looks like you had a very interesting visit, thanks for sharing the lovely photos. The food looks great, too. Sorry you had to leave the gardens before you were finished. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie
hope your cinema trip is good; I've missed them and hadn't connected it with the school holidays putting a stop to them!
That colorful garden area in the first photo in Lyme Park is beautiful. I am always in awe of your trips and travels. You do so many things and they are always so much fun to see. Don't you just hate being rushed when you're only partly through a visit to a place? Too bad for all of you, but hopefully, you can visit there again soon.
Really enjoyed your lunch. It looks like puff pastry, and it looks great. Even the water was special when you had such a beautiful backdrop. Thanks for sharing your trip to Lyme Park and your lunch in Hereford with us for T this Tuesday. Hope the rest of your 60s are as wonderful as the first! You truly lead a charmed and enviable life.
It was a lovely post to read Chris, the photos are all lovely, the formal gardens in the first photos looked beautiful. Its a shame when a visit is cut short, but maybe there will be a next time for you to visit.
Your lunch looked delicious.
Happy T day wishes.

I love those gardens at Lyme Park, but because it is on our doorstep we don't go there very often!! Your pictures are all beautiful, as ever. I am joining the leaving 60's club too..... Hugs, Anne xx
Ages since I went to ~Lyme Park - now you have reminded me of it I think it will be on the agenda.
How wonderful to see the stone mason at work - not something you get to see very often. Must have added to the visit which sounds great. Thanks for sharing your travels Chris.
Hugs, Neet xx
Great photos of your visit Chris. We live near Hereford, I would have come to meet you if I had known. Let me know if you visit again.
That's a beautiful place to visit and even more fun when it's with your family 😀. The cathedral is so magnificent and what a happy coincidence about your birthday reminders ... I smiled when I read the 1811 bit though ...lol 😉. The toastie looks yummy too - Happy T Day and enjoy the gym and cinema too! J 😊
Wonderful photos and that certainly looks like an amazing place to visit. The stuff that memories are made of!
I so enjoy visiting your area through your photo's. Funny coincidence about the ticket. Don't you just love it when things like that happen? Makes you stop and wonder.
The formal garden is beautiful and the effigy of Sir Richard very cool. Love the detail of his armor. Fun to have your birthday on the ticket. I'm assuming you weren't born in 1811. (-; Too bad your hubby didn't pose for the photo. Now I can't tell Himself, see? Chris' husband poses for T Day pictures! lol Happy T Day
I love all the places you share with us-so nice to be able to travel like you do. that was a nice keepsake your birthday on the ticket.
your lunch looks delicious!
Happy T Day Kathy
always a pleasure to travel chairside with you-even though I'd love to see it all in person. fascinating castle and history. Lyme Park looks so beautiful too. Perhaps if hubby will behave we'll see him next week:) Happy T day!

Happy T-Day dear Chris!

I am waiting for that movie to come out on Netflix. Hope it was fun! :)
Love that tomb with the knight Chris.... Thank you so much for taking us along....Happy T day! Hugs! deb
Looks like a nice day in the gardens even though the bell did ring too soon. The cathedral is spectacular, Chris. In today's photos, I was really taken by those elegant angels and the tomb of Sir Richard.
You and I share a birthday month - lol- mine is the 24th.
Happy T-Day! Hugs, Eileen
The gardens are gorgeous! And the lunch looks tasty, and in such a setting! I'm always impressed with places with such a long history.

OHMYGOSH! Beautiful photos! Thank YOU for sharing!
How fantastic to see a stone-mason at work on such a piece of craftsmanship as a cathedral. Lovely photos again, thank you - and how lovely to have your birthday celebrated on the vintage tag!
