First outing, Calke Abbey

It's been a while since I last posted, I've not really done much,
especially textiles. Be warned this is likely to be a long post.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago I decided I ought to start wearing shoes
other than crocs. We went to Calke Abbey one Sunday morning
and saw some wonderful things...........
a toadstool, never seen a real one like this before, only a picture...........
a dahlia border which had suffered with the overnight rain...........
pumpkins and gourds in all shapes and sizes...........................
this bloke in a funny hat is always around!..........................

mushrooms, quite rare ones I think, not sure though..............
It was bliss to be out in the fresh air at last.
