With a long weekend due to the Bank Holiday, we had two outings this
weekend! After Sunday's bluebell walk I wanted something less strenuous,
so hoping to dodge the rainclouds we headed off to Chatsworth - and after all, if the heaven's opened, we could always head inside.
Our teenager wanted to visit the adventure playground - one of the few with equipment suitable for older children. We, meanwhile, wandered round the adjacent farmyard - meeting a strange, and rather large, Blue-faced Leicester sheep, 3 day old Old-spot piglets, looking like a row of dalmatian puppies and cute pygmy goats.
Then we pottered off to the gardens..
Lots of rain recently meant that all the fountains were in full flow
 |
| Emperor Fountain |
 |
| a truly 'weeping' willow, sending out jets of water |
 |
| Canal Pond view - towards the House |
 |
| Canal Pond view - out over the valley |
The flat grassed area around the Canal Pond was the site of a sculpture exhibition, showing work from the long career of Anthony Caro.
 |
| Lock |
 |
| Fathom |
 |
| Goodwood Steps |
Not really my kind of Art, so off we went to the flower garden..
All in all an excellent day - with no rain!
