Kirkharle and Tea with friends

Have you every had days, when all the plans 

 you started out  to do

 just flew away....

This last weekend has been just like that for us....

Saturday.... A visit to

Kirkharle Courtyard 

Kirkharle village is  where Capability Brown was born.

There is now a complex of small artisan shops,  and a tea room

and lovely country side walks in the area,,, 

This building housed a few of the small shops, last time we went they were all open, a sign of the times with only 2  open. when we visited today.

This green door leads to the cafe.  The cafe,  not fully open for the day  and as you can see it was another grey N.E. English day.

We decided to take a few photos and head back home.

The pump stands  near  the center of the courtyard and no doubt would possibly still work   if,  labour and money were spent 

Some one with a sense of humour had parked up this rusty bike in the shrubbery.

A view over the fields to  a lovely working farm, its that the weather getting better. ?

No, that's  storm clouds about to roll over the hill,
 even the sheep were not impressed.

A wise idea to head off ........
Home..... to sit in the warm and watch the end of the year Tennis World  championships on TV.

Sunday Morning
Maybe a bit of crafting and finish off a few Christmas cards.

I have kept to a  CAS style for many of my cards this year, especially those that have to be posted.

In case you wonder,
 I was very careful  with my  cup of tea, it stays well out of the way, but I did want to share with you a photo my winter Robin mug.

Sunday afternoon was spent preparing for the family meal.
My Sunday ended  with us allwatching the Tennis finals, with   Andy Murray winning the title.

Another weekend flew by.



A warm welcome to all the friends who stop by from
Bleubeard and Elizabeth's
where on Tuesdays its T Day
