Another beautiful sunny day, but with north winds, which is a shame.
The house at Barrington Court is closed for repairs, but it is a pleasure to take a walk through the grounds.

Information office thatched roof being repaired:
Back at home - flowers of different kind;
production line of hexie flowers for the next border of Butterfly's Ball quilt
and all 36 flowers needed for Crojo blanket.
And now something completely different:
The two most important men in my life, at the start of this year's Mendip Vintage &Classic Tour, driving 47 years old Holden Kingswood (some of our Australian friends might remember Holden cars - apparently it was the "car which got Australia moving")
My son bought the car many years ago in Perth, Australia, at the start of his year long trip around the country, eventually finishing in Melbourne. When it was time for him to come home, the car came too, loaded onto a container ship for a long journey to England.
It is has been restored to its full glory, now taking part in the Tour every year. The Tour finishes on the green, in front of the Wells Cathedral, so the public can stroll around and have a good look at the various cars.
There is a YouTube video from this year, which you can see here:

Radko, ta zahrada je nádherná a ten dům...
ReplyDeleteJak vidím, i tobě toho pod rukama dost rozkvetlo!
Auto úžasné, umím ocenit krásu veteránů!
Přeji příjemné jarní dny, Helena
I always love your photos from gardens! The old cars are also beautiful, must be a rewarding hobby. You have been busy with your textile flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the Holden Kingswood was the car to have many years ago. How fabulous your son's car went back home with him. Love the colour. I can't tell you how many Holden cars Pete and I have owned. A car of the past I'm afraid now that the Holden company is no more.. My favourite was the EH Holden. How wonderful to stroll through those gorgeous gardens. Gorgeous fabrics in those hexies, Radka.
ReplyDeleteBarrington is looking lovely - we have not been yet this year and have it in mind for the next week or so. We have just had a couple of days in London and thought we would stop off at Stourhead on the way back for lunch and a stroll. But, the car park was full and the overflow car park was also chock a block so we carried on home instead! It was such a lovely day yesterday though so hardly surprising. Nice hexies and crochet. xx
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely place! So beautiful!
