What an absolutely outstanding venue for a wedding.
It is now part of our wedding network.
It is so wonderful in business when you come across like minded people, who have passion and drive. Tracey was certainly one of those people, I am really looking forward to working with her and I know other people in the group will be involved with ideas and plans which will benefit us all!
After the meeting I took a few photos of the wonderful grounds and made my way home.
Rather than go straight home via Pickering I turned left onto the A64 York Road and went to Castle Howard
As a child this was one place mum would take me and it became a real tourist attraction as a result of Brideshead Revisited
in the 1980's.
I had a walk round but as it was after 2.30pm I didn't pay to go into the grounds as I would want a full day there.
There was still plenty to look at!
There were a few shops,
a glass maker...
A craft & gift shop!
I resisted here!
But had to buy this!
Wait till Fizzy sees it!
I made my way home through the quant villages between Castle Howard and the moors.
I stopped off at Hutton - le Hole!
What do you know.......another film crew!
LOL!
I thought of Kai!
I called in to this amazing candlemaker's studio!
He does some amazing commissions for weddings!
This could be very interesting!
I drove home over the moors, the sky was very threatening!
I made it home without coming across any rain, but looking out now I think we may see rain tonight.
This is the A171.
The next turning leads to our village.
You can see how close we are to the sea!
As I looked at this photograph it reminded me of the words from a famous Irish blessing....
An Irish Blessing
Public Domain Old Gaelic Prayer
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again someday,
May God hold you in the palm of God's hand.
May the memories that we have shared
Linger on and on.
appropriate me thinks!
So that was my day!
I hope you had a good day too!
