We're a little bit older though, and less easy to embarrass these days.<br /><br />I love the cards (gritting teeth not to yield to Zinskis) and I'm sure your eldest grandson appreciated the special effects. Lowther Castle looks like a wonderful place for a day out - and WOW that floral Easter egg WOW!<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-28349884298951023562017-04-19T21:26:12.502+01:002017-04-19T21:26:12.502+01:00Love the cards for the grandsons and it looks like...Love the cards for the grandsons and it looks like everyone enjoyed their meal and desserts. Now for the castles!!!! Those were some amazing photos... almost dreamy. You and your son are right about the tree and it is magical. I would love something like that in my woods but Hubby would cut it down if I wasn't watching closely.

What fun you must have had (dignified or not).<br />The photos of the garden are gorgeous. That 'weeping' tree, the ferns, the alliums, everything really. <br />We will be coming to the UK end of August but we never venture any furhter North than Manchester. LetsArtJournal Jo also tells us about these wonderful places 'up north', so perhaps we should take out some time to travel further up.<br />Thanks for sharing,<br />Hugs,<br />LiscaLiscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06055538730629891703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-52706138226704731482017-04-19T13:19:12.485+01:002017-04-19T13:19:12.485+01:00What great cards!What great cards!Marjuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546591072657694726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-37062040166979099352017-04-19T08:28:56.469+01:002017-04-19T08:28:56.469+01:00(i thought i had commented here yesterday, but som...(i thought i had commented here yesterday, but someway it seems it didn´t come through...)<br /><br />Chris, do you have an overview over all These Castles;) ? well, indeed i envy you, i would love to see them all!! i always enjoy to see them at least through your lense:) thanks so much!<br />happy belated t-day and rest of the week!johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236665096059653348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4548733713996961552.post-375578003225526052017-04-18T22:24:46.713+01:002017-04-18T22:24:46.713+01:00Talk about play castle - I should say!!
