Park Mill at Bateman House
When you visit Bateman House, remember to get a visitor Map, there are signs pointing to places but with the map in your hand you can find all those nooks and crannies, which are off of the pathway. The house is beauitful and the gardens are exquisite. However, there is one feature you must not […]

Bateman House
We’ve all seen and read Jungle Book and loved it. We’ve had our imaginations taken to new heights, with Mowgli, Baloo the bear and Shere Khan the tiger. It was during the making of Jungle Book, that Walt Disney passed away. It was the last film he produced and the first film to be released […]

Fountains Abbey and the River Skell
Sometimes, you just can’t get the right sky for the picture. Unfortunately, having to work in real-life our photography jaunts are when we can fit it in at weekends. Except for our holidays. We were doing a Warner’s holiday, back in 2018. And we got a terrific deal. However, those holidays are either 3 nights […]

Prashley Manor House
Six years ago, we visited Prashley Manor House. And what a spectacular house and gardens! Unfortunately for me, I was at that time in a wheelchair, awaiting a hip operation. And little did we know, it was on a hill. Whilst I loved the look of the gardens, I was rather limited to where I […]

The Changing Seasons, June 2022
