Sunday Walks - Charlecote

The weather threatened to be a little nicer this Sunday. With Pappy away for the weekend 'oop norf', Mr Bee and I had a lovely leisurely drive down the Fosse Way (always a favourite for day trips!) to the National Trust property Charlecote Park.

We had a lovely walk around the parkland, spying baby jacobean lambs and getting really close to the deer. We sat for a while watching the ducks on the pond and then had a good climb of some fallen trees to get us all hungry for lunch.

Then we had a good old explore of the house and the parterre, taking in the sights of the River Avon before setting off home for the most delicious chilli for dinner!

Attingham Estate

They say that a Sunday well spent is a week content.

This morning Pappy took us on a little family road trip to Attingham Park. Though Louie and I have been before, it was Pappy's first visit. We enjoyed a yummy lunch, a very slow amble around the deer park, den building, race running (though not by me!!), deer spotting, resting in the walled garden, warming by the fire in the bothy and a great cream tea before heading home.
A standard family Sunday out of doors, blowing the cobwebs away.

The Golden Hour

 "The golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky"

Last night I took my bee down to Bradgate to take some photos during the Golden Hour. We had fun. He played on the rocks, I played with my new camera.

It's fair to say that I wasn't feeling particuarly in sync with my camera last night and I wasn't very inspired by my surroundings, but I still managed to get a few nice photographs I think!
