A craft village............oh yeh, Bobs gonna love that!
In fact he did, much to my surprise. Mostly the second hand and antique shops set in a disused Army/airforce base about half hour out of Manchester. Set on a hill, caravan pk adjacent, and meadows with black and white cows. Saw a magnificent chandelier for £15.00, I could hear Tony & Stef saying
"no dont" Then ornate silver forks 5 for £10 Barbara would love them .In the end common sense prevailed.
have to watch the pennies.......I still want the chandelier!
I find it odd that our Aussie accents still have people stopping and talking to us..You'd think the English would be used to it.
Beautiful shaded narrow roads lined with hedges , reminds me so much of Jenis artist mother Betty.
Leaving the Chandelier behind we made our way further up the hill to Heathercliffe, a gracious old home that is now a tea rooms, it overlooks patchwork meadows with grazing sheep, cows and of times gone by.
It has entertained generations of people, film crews, Ballykiss Angel, Robin Hood , just to mention a few.
Normally not opened on a Monday, but served us a lovely afternoon tea MUST HAVE BEEN MY TITLE!!!.
Catch you all tomorrow.....love ya! Lady Pamela.
I can just see you trying to fit a chandelier in your suitcase hahaha. Just realised one of my sewing friends is visiting her sister in Manchester, her name is Pat, sister Karen, say HI if you see them xxx
