T Stands for...time out, sometimes!

Hi everyone, I'm glad I saved some photos for today - we did go out last week but I had a bad experience and would rather not relive it today!
I will take you back to Lyme Park instead!
With the heat we are having I hope a walk in the wood will cool you down!
It was quite a warm day at the end of July and we decided to take another of the paths at Lyme Park that we have never been on(there are still a lot left too)

 First of all we walked along a path with a small wood on on side

 It had views out over to nearby Stockport

 There were quite a few of these 'dens' some with families playing in them

 We came through the gate into this shady wood

A lovely view of where had come from 

 This tree had fallen and uprooted

 We reached another gate at the far end of the wood but decided not to try and get back a different way...maybe another time!

 We got a better view of the mansion and the fallen tree

 Looking back through the gate

 The car park was quite full- this was around 3pm

I think in future we will be planning morning trips as a lot of folk are staying all day and it becomes quite busy!

 I told you that we had been on a picnic with my three sons and two of our grandchildren, here are some of the few photos I took.

 We tried to comply with the rules about not meeting in large numbers but as it happened another grandson and two partners couldn't come.
As you can see - from left to right, hubby then through from youngest, middle, with grandchildren to eldest, who spotted this great place by the lake

 The views were from opposite sides of the group, which as you can see were very well placed for social distancing!

 We went for a short walk afterwards

This is the bottom end of the whole lake which is quite long!

I hope you will forgive my choice for T Stands for Tuesday, where I will join Bleubeard and Elizabeth

Yes, it's the coffee we had in Fletcher Moss Gardens - I enjoyed it so much it just has to be here this week too!

Just before I go I will show you what I did while 'watching' TV last night.

I'm usually quite shy about showing my doodle sketches but I'm quite pleased with some of these characters who just appeared in around 30 minutes of doodling.

Thanks for looking, Chris
