Denim and Doncaster




Look at that sunshine!




It's been cold but beautifully clear; I like these lovely in-between days when I need extra layers but haven't yet unearthed my faux furs from storage.




Denim dress, cardigan, belt and bangles - charity shopped
Clockhouse 1970s-style patchwork suede jacket, boots and 70s tooled leather bag - Ebay
Pendant - gift 



I had a feeling this denim shirt dress would look good layered up with tights and boots, I'm liking the 70s vibe...





...although I'm clearly not showing anything like enough thigh.

When my mum and sister came up to visit in half term, we went to Brodsworth Hall, near Doncaster, and I somehow never got round to putting the photos together into a blog post.

So here they are.



There is much to enjoy in the Victorian house and gardens.
No photos were allowed in the house (I got told off for getting my camera out, although there were no signs to say photography wasn't OK and my mind-reading skills are clearly ineffective).



We loved the elegant statues and beautiful monkey puzzle tree...







...the ghost trail, Victorian ironwork, pets graveyard...



...autumn colours, fungi, sheep, topiary...




...and the sunlight through the trees.



A ridiculous child photo bombed the topless statuary...





...and the kids enjoyed some time with their Grandma.

A good afternoon. 





And should we have a Gratuitous Pussy Pic to finish?





Of course we should!
