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.
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.
