Friday

Firstly, I'd like to remember my B-in-L who took his life seven years ago today. 

Here's my depiction of July 2025. Mostly the highlights of our trip up through England, into Scotland and across to Belfast.

I haven't included Trentham gardens which were so beautiful that I welled up almost immediately. Gardens do that to me. I also loved Lowther Castle gardens but they were more a journey of discovery and I didn't get emotional until we reached the Rose garden.

The brick chimney of the Gladstone Pottery is completely the wrong shape. That'll annoy me now. My original pencilled outline was perfect so I must have been in a day dream when stitching.

I'm very pleased with Stormont.

I left very early for this morning's walk because of the forecast. As usual, it was hot and I dressed inappropriately.
