Wednesday this week in the North West of England saw a glorious autumn day. Who would have believed a day like this could be possible this late on in the year after the most awful summer we had.
It was so peaceful and so colourful
There used to a big hall that sat in the park. The hall was built during the reign of Elizabeth I and was described in 1831 as 'characterized by substantial comfort, rather than by elegance'. Not sure when it was demolished but it was within the last 80 years.
These trees stand in lines and looking at them I suspect they lined the carriage way up to the hall. Just look at the colour of that sky!
I would so love to think that these old trees have seen all those seasons coming and going since Elizabethan times. They are so gnarly there are faces contained in the bark

Lovely photos that describe the scene beautifully. It's been like that down here as well .... on and off.
[before anyone else notices please put an 'r' in tees - thank you]
Thank you Daddy P ... since Wednesday the weather has not been so good ... dull and drizzly, just what we are used to. I was just so grateful to be off work and take full advantage of this special day.
['r' is added... tank you lol;-)]
Love the barky pictures :-)
Thank you Somnambulist ... there really are faces in the bark but I couldn't stand and stare too long in case someone sent for the men in white coats :0)
