I would take myself off to our local Botanic Gardens, stroll around the ornamental pond area and then sit in a shady spot and have tea and cake (they do an impressive offering of cakes at our local Botanic Garden Tea Room).Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-29939401836092923622014-07-23T01:44:14.854-10:002014-07-23T01:44:14.854-10:00I've just come home after several weeks away. ...I've just come home after several weeks away.

I believe the right attitude can make anything an enjoyable adventure. I love one-day and weekend trips, no matter where we go. The mountains, the woods, the water, a city with lots of museums and activities, quaint towns with old houses and antique shops. It doesn't matter. I love it all!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251035797708672975.post-762232902793264192014-07-21T01:51:29.920-10:002014-07-21T01:51:29.920-10:00Ah bluebells . . .

One of my favourite days out is to a place called Coton Manor Gardens in Northamptonshire which is about 40 minutes from home. Bluebells in the Spring, a Wild Flower Meadow in the Summer, a small lake, roses, chickens on the lawn. My idea of heaven on earth. A lovely post - thank-you.Alex Gutteridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286484609686074469noreply@blogger.com
