Lavender at National Trust property #1, Paycocke's
Our home for a few nights - a stunning barn conversion in the most glorious countryside.
Look at those beams!
National Trust property #2, Ickworth
The cathedral in Bury St Edmunds
National Trust property #3, Blickling Estate
Quaint cottages everywhere!
National Trust Property #4, Felbrigg
And finally, the sea! The North Sea, rather than our usual Irish Sea.
What a wonderful trip. Exhausting though, we got back to Wales very late one night and I slept for ten hours. That's all of my planned weekends away now for the rest of the year, I'll have to book something else to give me something to look forward to, I hate an empty calendar!
When are you coming back to Málaga?
ReplyDeleteNothing booked for this year, maybe in 2018!!
DeleteOh wow that pictures of the lavender just makes me want to take a deeeeep breath.
ReplyDeleteIt was glorious!
DeleteAll sounds like fun and I look forward to reading more about your adventures and seeing all the outfits! I like the look of the stripy dress ... is it a dress?
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes it's the Michelle maxi dress by Collectif. They also released it in a floral print, so they may bring back the style some time. A good choice for tall girls, great length on it.
DeleteYou couldn't have picked a better week for your epic journey! I don't know that area at all so I'm enjoying being an armchair tourist and basking in those gorgeous photos. xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with it either. Very flat but big sky and lovely light x
DeleteOh wow! Looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou sure seem to find some wonderful places to stay.
Can't wait to see more photos from your adventure. Bonus the weather was brilliant the whole time. You got lucky!

I love seeking out unusual places to stay! It's a hobby!! X
DeleteIt looks like the flatlands had good weather for you. It's not much on landscape, but hard to beat for skies and light. I love Blickling Hall - it's said that at midsummer each year, the ghost of Anne Boleyn turns up there in a carriage and picks a single blade of grass.
ReplyDeleteOo, we just missed her then!!
DeleteFabulous photos and such glorious weather! You can't beat the UK in the summer (when it's not raining!). I look forward to seeing more photos from your different stops. xx
ReplyDeleteOh such lovely photos, all those gorgeous homes and properties...thanks for sharing these photos and your road trip! :)
ReplyDeleteA wedding? But whose could that be... You looked so gorgeous that night - I love that Collectif dress on you! Glad that the East of England treated you well. It's a lovely place to be, but I'm biased... xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures and yes you cannot beat the British countryside when the weather is good.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Thanks for sharing.

This looks amazing! And now I want to see you in a period drama where you swan around your country mansion, drinking martinis and trying to decide which painting to sell to pay for the upkeep. Or, you know, whatever you feel like you might find yourself doing in your manor.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more photos from the trip!
Gorgeous photos, it looks so beautiful there and I love your outfits x
