Hi everyone, I don't know how the time flies by so quickly but it does.
I intended posting this journal page yesterday!
It has texture paste, paint, ink stencilling and lace and is for Jo's 'Texture' theme at Art Journal JourneyThe quote is from one of Alison Bomber's ('Words and Pictures')new sets.
Last Friday we had a lovely outing to Tatton Park.
Looking across at the sunflowersA look at the pond with green stick like plants sticking up through the water!Parts of the little stream around the Japanese Garden have turned green
Outside to inside...Inside to outside..We walked to the other side of the gardenThis gate leads to the front of the MansionEven the best of gardens get moles!!!We called to the Housekeepers store for some fresh veggies and one or two other goodies!Lots of folk were enjoying takeaways from the Stables restaurant....but not us..Hubby caught me wrestling the lid from our box with cheese and pickle bagels and tomatoes. We also had a box with potato crisps(chips) and cheesy nibble biscuits
Our drink was coffee that we put up on top of the dashboard.
Can you see the young stag through our dusty windscreen? We were allowed to get quite close The ducks and geese were preening on the little landing stage I caught hubby's hand on my long lake pic...Here he is!We saw these three by the path on the way back to the car - the other two were still together on the other side. I hope I haven't overdone it again!
Thanks for taking this long look today, Chris

Terrific journal page full of texture and a sweet sentiment. Fantastic pics ~ thank you for taking me to this beautiful mansion and gardens. I love the fact that money can't buy away moles (hehehe) What a beautiful shot of the Queen Anne's lace and purple flowers and the mixed blooms too. ~ Blessings on your week
Great post Chris.
Dunham Massey last week for us and a trip to the seaside yesterday! Taking a careful look at the weather before booking any more trips out!
Gorgeous page! The stenciled design looks so beautiful with the texture from the pieces of lace, and the flower and quote are so pretty too 😀. So very inspiring, thanks so much for joining us at Art Journal Journey again! I always enjoy walking with you and Tatton Park has such lovely views, those of the house and the topiary caught my eye today 😉. Wishing you a very happy T Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
Love your latest page Chris. Keeping the background white really makes the color and texture stand out. Thanks again for joining us at AJJ. Tatton Park looks lovely. I would want to pick a pear, but I know you can't do that. It's nice to see the the early fall flowers and views. I hope you had a great T day and also happy first day of fall. Hugs-Erika
Beautiful views! I love that you were able to park and eat next to your vehicle. Also, the up close and personal with the wild life is not something one always gets to experience with their lunch.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
Lovely page. Reminds me of the last day of Summer. Oh, never apologize for the amount of photos from your lovely outing. The deer were amazing. I’ve seen does before, but have never seen a buck. Wow! Happy T Day
Love the page and no. You cannot overdo it, I love to see all that! Seems like you really had a great day and I thank you for the smiles you gave me, belated Happa T Day (was with the family yesterday, yipee). Hugs.
Good morning, beautiful journal page and enjoyed all the photos-Happy T Kathy
Pretty, delicate page and another lovely wandering we got to join!! Love the deer between the mugs--LOL!
Tatton Park is absolutely beautiful. I remember it well. I so enjoyed seeing it again.
Love the deer. They must be used to people as they didn't flee.
Those are fun photos taken from in between the pillars; outside in and inside out.
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Time flies, and how! The days go by so quickly. Hatton Park is wonderful, love would love to visit there again. Have a good week, take care. Oh, and the journal page is wonderful, too. Hugs, Valerie
Wow what a nice time out. Really lovely photos. Enjoy your day.
What a wonderful garden! Your views of the stag and the flowers are so enjoyable.

Lovely page, Chris. I'm glad you saved it for T-day. I wish I could visit more often, but there aren't enough hours in the day.
Thank you for sharing your walk and fun picnic lunch with us.
Happy T-day! Hugs, Eileen
