Hello friends who call in to see me today.
I am having a cuppa over at
where we are always made very welcome with a drinks related post.
I am sharing some photos of a visit we made to Settle.
on Saturday
. They were holding a Flowerpot Festival
The couple on the road side caught our attention and we ended up visiting Settle
as our day's destination.
Most of the shops seemed to be involved .
These two were a treat to look in side as well.
Jack had his soldiers stood to attention as visitors passed by.
Minnie and Mickie, were just happy to see folk going into their shop.
The tin man propped up in the shade of a tree, had no intention of chasing the dragons it was so hot.
These two , just wanted to fly off and cool down.
Use your imagination, but I was told that the one on the left is a mermaid, she was even sporting a bikini top. Phyllis just wanted to sell her pies.
Even the top of the old telephone kiosks had flowerpot creations on them.
The cow was exhausted in the heat. Harry and his friend were just thankful for a seat close by, they wouldn't have wanted to use their magic with so many muggles around.
By now we had reached the Market square and really needed some refreshment.
This Cafe/Take out had a big queue and the most delicious aroma's the make the mouth water.
There was seating outside, too many folk to get a photo.
I chose a hot sandwich filled with fresh cooked bacon rashers ,
oozing Camembert cheese and cranberry relish .

Guess what was in the take away drink...... tea....of course.
This was the view from where we were sitting.
This group were outside a wool and materials shop.
all the folk stopped quite a while to see this family outing.
I will share some more flowerpot photos soon.
As I have still quite a few still to unload from my camera and get sorted out..
Thank you for calling in to see me today.
Happy T day everyone.

These are incredible flower pot art. Each one is very unique and all are so very different. What impressed me was the range of imagination people came up with while creating these flower pot people. I can't wait to see more of these beauties.
ReplyDeleteYour sandwich looks great, even for this vegetarian. And of course, I know it was tea in your cup. Thanks for sharing these wonderful and totally unique flower pots and tea with us for T this Tuesday.

There seems to be such a lovely community feel about the town too. Excellent sandwich choice, it looks so delicious and it's a good job I've had my lunch or I'd be off to cook some bacon... lol 😉. Wishing you a very Happy T Day! J 😊

ReplyDeleteA Flowerpot Festival? I never heard of anything like that. How unique and what charming decorations people came up with. I love Minnie & Mickey, as well as the angels and the characters on the phone kiosks! The flowerpot family with dog, of course, is wonderful!

Thank you very much Yvonne for sharing those so beautiful photographs of this fabulous festival ! Imagination has no limits!! Enjoy this happy time! Big hugs, Caty
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all the flower pots, what a fun visit. I think I like the elephant on top of the phone booth the best.
ReplyDeleteOh! What creative ways to display flower pots ♥ Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my blog. Lady's visit to the vet went very well with no parasites or diseases ♥♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteThe Flowerpot Festival looks a really fun place to visit! A lovely post Yvonne!

Oh! How wonderful the Flowerpot festival looks! We love Settle…and the Naked Man cafe! Happy T Day! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that looks like such a fun town to visit. From the name of the pub to all the flowerpot creations, it has a unique vibe. What a great place for tea!
ReplyDeleteA flower pot festival sounds like so much fun. what clever creations you saw.
ReplyDeleteHappy T Day!
How delightful to go and see the flowerpot festival. Many villages hold one. Where we used to go in Devon, there was a flowerpot festival every year. I always enjoyed it immensely.
ReplyDeleteThe naked man café? You got me all excited there! But a bacon sarnie is not to be sniffed at either. At my age, I suppose I'd rather have a bacon sarnie!
Happy (belated) T-Day,
Lisca
