T Stands for.......the picnic

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 Journey

The 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 sunflowers

A 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 garden

This gate leads to the front of the Mansion

Even 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..

I'm joining Elizabeth and Bleubeard for T Stands for Tuesday with our picnic down by the big lake in the grounds of the Tatton Estate.

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
