We made good time so, as Pete had a church he wished to visit, we had a slight detour to visit St Marys at Great Brington. The views from the church ground were pretty good too!
As we arrived, so did the Church Warden so we had a guided tour - which was great!
OK so onto Canons Ashby. One reason for a visit is that this National Trust property was third in the 'Best National Trust Cafes.. so that's good enough reason for us,
We arrived and had a cuppa - accompanied by Victoria Sponge - rather lovely and Carrot Cake... this was Carrot Cake with a difference and probably the best I've had... wonderful!! Big smile!
Then a quick stroll around whilst waiting for the guided tour of the house.
My apologies if some of the pictures are out of sequence.. I'm having problems with uploading pictures to my laptop and blogger won't load pictures in the right order.
Nonetheless, a lovely day out.. with excellent cake and sunshine!! And the company wasn't bad either :D
The diet has been suspended for the day!

What a fabulous place. Really enjoyed your photos Tricia - what lens did you use today?
Those cakes looked very tempting.

Thanks Mark.
Mostly used the Fuji XE-1 with 18-55mm lens; some of the close up shots are with Panasonic G5 with 45-170- not a dSLR in sight.
Sounds like a wonderful day with some great photos.
As I was just saying in a comment to Pete my friend has been suggesting we visit Canons Ashby - will definitely be going now!
Blogger seem to have recently changed the way photos are uploaded (at least on my blog!!) and its very difficult to separate them :(
Thanks Caroline.. It was a lovely discovery and would be great to revisit in the summer when the garden restoration is complete.
Blogger is a real pain at the moment - as is the processing software I use for my picture management/editing.. my temper has been a little short !!
Great shots. I really enjoyed seeing them. Those cakes look divine! Meant to tell Pete that too. No wonder you two are always eating cakes,lol.
