Another day, another day out!!
Today it was Bolton Abbey.
The photos don't do it justice, it really is beautiful.
We visited last year and crossed the river on the stepping stones.
I was absolutely terrified.
The children wanted to have another go, but unfortunately the river was too high and some of the stones had washed away!!!
(This meant that meany Mummy didn't have to say no, but Bolton Abbey said no)
After an ice cream and with renewed energy we headed back to the car for lunch, throwing a few coins in the fountain for luck on our way past!!
The children where persuaded to have another short walk after lunch to see The Strid
When we returned to the car we where all shattered but happy with our day.
What would complete the day?
Yes a trip to the fabric shop on the way home. . . . .
(Weirdly, when I looked back to our last visit, it was exactly a year and one day ago.
I also managed to call at the fabric shop on my way home)
We've driven past Bolton Abbey dozens of times but have never stopped for a wander around, I'll have to add it to the list.
ReplyDeleteIt can feel a bit expensive to park, but it includes entrance for all the people in your car. Also you can drive to the other car parks and park up using your ticket. Well worth a visit. Sarah
DeleteSounds like a great day out, the Abbey looks amazing for a walk around. Always a bonus when a fabric shop is thrown into the mix.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't shopping for fabric, I was suppose to be helping my Mum pick out something for a new project. But. . . . Well what can I say. Sarah
DeleteNice photos. I've never been to Bolton Abbey but I have heard it is a nice place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt really is beautiful. It's the sort of place you want to visit in different seasons, just to see how it looks. Sarah
DeleteIt is a nice place to visit, looks like you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteWhat have you in mind for your fabric ?

What have I in mind for my fabric? That is a very good question. Initially it will join my other 'fabric impulse buys' in my fabric stash cupboard, then. . . . Well that's all I know at the moment!!! Sarah
