Cow & Ghost are leaving today for our summer jaunt. Quite a road trip this time. Not in this lovely camper van, but we liked the photo. Plans to visit towns, stately homes, coast, countryside and more.
We usually take lots of photographs, as we find lots of interesting things along the way. This time we thought we'd chose the nicest photo from each day and add it to a blog post, so here we are.
It may be a building, an object, a view.... Who knows. We see so many lovely images on the internet, we look forward to adding some of our own
Day 1 - 8.8.16
We discovered this wonderful cupboard in the Gardener's Bothy at the National Trust's 'Attingham Park'. Lovely little building located in the smaller walled garden. Lots of vintage items on display to handle including old gardening books. Original 1950's armchairs to relax in too.

Day 2 - 9.8.16
One of many photographs taken in the lovely Orangery at Lyme Park. House used for filming of Pride & Prejudice, but no sign of Colin Firth in the lake.
Day 3 - 10.8.16
Beautiful summer house in the garden of Fountains Hall at Fountains Abbey. Love loom furniture too.
Day 4 - 11.8.16
No sign of Dracula today, but can easily imagine him in atmospheric Whitby Abbey.
Day 5 - 12.8.16
Robin Hood's Bay. A gem of a place. Something to see around every corner. Highly recommended for a holiday. Like stepping back in time.
Day 6 - 13.8.16
Mr Straw's house in Worksop. An Edwardian semi untouched since 1923. An amazing time capsule preserved by the National Trust. Brought back so many memories of how houses were when I was a child. One pot on a magnificent stack of six had been changed. Pleased to spot it being used in the garden,
Day 7 - 14.8.16
Visited Belton House. Delighted to find the sundial used in the spooky 1980's BBC children's television series 'Moondial'.
Day 8 - 15.8.16
What a lovely city Lincoln is. We can highly recommend the shops and cafes in the Cathedral Quarter.
Day 9 - 16.8.16
Cliveden today. Lots of talking about Nancy Astor and for different reasons Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice Davies. Mainly chatting about Joyce Grenfell, and imagining what the place was like when she visited years ago.
Day 10 - 17.8.16
The last day of our trip, but what a great way to end. Some 1930's bathroom glamour at Packwood House. Highly recommend this National Trust property in Worcestershire. Gardens are beautiful, and we'd move into the house today.
