New Year's Eve wander at Nymans...a wet one..

Went food shopping today in pouring rain; on the way back sky started to brighten so, on an impulse I had a detour to Nymans Gardens on the way home

Twas lunchtime.. so the last scone of 2017

It was drizzling whilst I ate.. I headed off for a walk

within 5 minutes the clouds opened and despite waterproofs I was getting very wet

So I called it a day and came home.

Good scone to finish the year off though..

Chartwell House & Garden... good therapy

I don't like this time of the year... it's too long since my last hols.. and a while to wait for the next one...

I've got a little black dog on my shoulder that won't go away.. I don't like him...

Well needed to get out so off I went to Chartwell.. where the sun was shining - and had a lovely wander.

There was a 'trail' of things to find for children.. I found some.. no doubt the children found the all.

7 Swans a swimming

6 geese a laying

5 Gold Rings

Two Turtle Doves

Penstomen still in flower

Being arty!!

3 French Hens

4 Calling Birds

10 Lords a leaping

and a good fruity scone to finish with
