This was set to a mailing list I'm on. I thought it was a wonderful image, even though I don't know the city and have never set foot on that continent.
I also don't know where the image was from originally, so I can't credit you. Please get in touch if you know so I can properly acknowledge the work.
Breathtaking.
My first adventure as a National Trust Member was to East Riddlesden Hall in Keighley with a very dear friend... I've actually been here twice a week apart - once as a visitor and once to a wedding there. Now, this place is lovely both inside and out, except that inside the main house operates a one way system where you have to visit each room in turn - we were positively scolded for daring to enter a room without following the desired approach. Very odd.
Anyway, here are links to the photos from both visits. The first time was again cloudy, with spots of rain in the air, but the second time was in glorious sunshine. See if you can spot the difference between days...
At the end of May I went to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, the most complete abbey in England and a beautiful Tudor style garden. It was a slightly overcast day, but a picnic was had without the interruption of wasps so everything has its plus points.
Oh, and I am now a member of The National Trust, so expect more culture based entries - especially the next one, updating more escapades!
Here are a selection of the photos I took, the remainder are available in my gallery (opens in a new window).
