Taking advantage of a Christmas gift voucher we had Afternoon Tea at David Austin Roses. The weather was perfect, after several rainy days the sun came out allowing us to enjoy the gardens before indulging in tasty treats in the tea room.

My previous post shared my afternoon canal experiences courtesy of a Christmas gift.

Today Mr C and I were booked in for a Wedgwood Ceramic Experience with Afternoon Tea (another Christmas gift).

We used the SatNav so that we could take early morning traffic situations into account. We were directed along a delightful countryside route which was enhanced by it being a lovely sunny morning.

To our surprise we arrived at the Wedgwood factory a lot earlier that either we or the SatNav predicted. We had 45 minutes to spare…

Now what should a girl do with all that time? Sit in the car and wait patiently or get out and explore the area…

Mr C prefered to sit in the car whilst I went out to explore. I enjoyed the landscaped gardens near to the factory and found woodlands beyond. I need to go back and enjoy a walk in the woodlands :-)

Later in the day we enjoyed chilling out on our patio as the sun went down. Our visiting bat (from the local woodlands) chose to briefly grace us with his appearance :-)

Better illogical customs than none; men cannot live together without them.

I seem to have got a bit carried away, thank goodness for digital cameras!

Northumberland ranks as one of my favorite places in the world. It has everything I love; dramatic landscapes, gardens, castles and history. But most of all I love the peace and tranquility, my favorite place to stay just adds to the experience.

On my journey down (or is that up?) I did have cause to wonder if I had been transported to a foreign land… I stopped off for afternoon tea and was greeted with Llamas and on closer inspection a camel!!! Apparently his name is Kevin.

Can You see Me?
