T Stands for.......Tasty!

 Hi everyone, we're going out again, somewhere familiar but beautiful.

We have been having regular outings lately, one when we go for our Click and Collect grocery order and then another 2 or 3 days later.

We both have taken far to many photos of the places we have been so I really must try to fit in another post in the week!

This was our second outing of the week, even though it is the closest to home - we had a plan!!!

Quarry Bank Mill can be reached via the woods by the village I showed you last week, although on this occasion we had booked in for the Gardens and parked in the Car park.

The Greenhouses have been opened up

 

There's still a rope across this one though

The Sweet Peas are growing well and smell fabulous

The Peonies and Poppies look great but I had come to see the Irises before they finished - some are almost over so pleased we got here in time!

The falling Rhododendron blossoms make a great carpet

We stopped for a while as our favourite bench was vacant....

...but then it was time to head off to Notcutts Garden Centre restaurant.

We had been looking forward to this for a while...

Fish, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. Not only did we eat it all but we shared a mint choc chip sundae. We were brought an extra glass and spoon! 

We also, as you can see had water and coffee to drink!

I must say, the rest of the afternoon was taken at a leisurely pace!!

Hubby is teasing here and saying he isn't going to share.

It is here of course that I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T Stands for Tuesday!

I'll be back with our latest Wanderlust pages very soon.

Thanks for looking, Chris
