Lovely to visit @nationaltrust.org.uk #LymePark yesterday with the unexpected bonus of seeing Hummingbird Hawk Moths feeding on the Salvias. I was advised that it has been a very good year for them. #ukmoths ☀️

The view from #LymePark in Disley near Manchester yesterday evening. Couldn't tell if the sheep were wearing eclipse glasses.

A poster promoting printmaking workshops for children. The text reads "Printmaking at Lyme Park". There are 4 images. 2 are of prints of different leaves in black ink on white paper. 1 shows a print made from shaped stamps of a sunflower. 1 shows a child's hand stamping a circle stamp in pink to make a caterpillar picture.

Photograph taken looking up at the roof of Lyme Park in Cheshire. A monochrome filter has been used for drama. The statue on top is of Neptune and was put there in the 1730s. There are five other sculptures of Roman and Greek figures including Venus, Diana and Pan. The building was redesigned in the early C18th into an Italianate style by the Italian architect Giacomo Leoni. The image shows the top section of the south side of Lyme Park in Cheshire. The classical stone building takes up the bottom half of the frame, with a cloudy sky in the top half. The photograph focuses on the large triangular pediment which rests on six ionic columns (decorative top of a column that looks like a ram's horns). The two end columns on each side are closer together then the rest evenly spaced. At each side of the pediment (towards the corners of the triangle shape) is a bronze statue of a Roman or Greek figure. Above the pediment is a long, fancy balustrade that provides a flat top to the building. Up on this and at the pinnacle of the pediment is a bronze statue of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Strange choice as Lyme Park is a bit far from the sea, but I guess when you're showing off your wealth by upgrading your country pile to the latest Italianate style, this is an irrelevance.

If you look closely in the top right hand of the photo an aircraft has sneaked in.

Image taken on the top landing at Lyme Park in Cheshire, of the ornate plaster ceiling. It features stars, feathers, an angel, curves and generally fancy decorative elements. Small sections are painted in black so the plaster stars stand out. Love an ornate plaster ceiling and if it didn't make me look completely unhinged, I would like to lie on the floor and spend a few hours studying its design and intricacies. Not sure the property volunteers or fellow visitors would appreciate at tiny woman sprawled out though!

"Reuben, just give Mummy the fish so I can put it back in the water please. No don't clutch it tighter sweetheart. Yes I know Harold the Gardener hasn't cleaned out the pond for a couple of years but there's water under that weed somewhere. Darling I know you've called it Nemo but it's not a pet. If we put it back in the pond you can still come to say hello to it every day. Sorry, 'Nemo' not 'it'. No I haven't made Nemo cry poppet. I know the pond looks disgusting but Nemo was happy in there before you scooped him out and slung him over your shoulder. Come on Reuben, let's pop him back in now, we need to get you clean, dry and presentable before Great Aunt Maud arrives [mutters give me strength under her breath]. Will Nemo survive this friendship? Will Reuben still be barely clad in a strip of cloth when Great Aunt Maud arrives with Horatio the Poodle? Will Harold the Gardener ever clean out the pond? Image taken in the rose garden at Lyme Park (of Pemberley fame) in Cheshire. A circular stone pond has a central base upon which sits a chubby stone cherub cuddling a large fish. When operational there would be a jet of water propelling out of the fish's mouth into the air. The pond has quite a bit of lime green pond weed but water is still visible! A stone path leads away from the pond, up some steps, past rose beds, to a seating area beneath a rose-covered canopy. Tall trees behind.

Second outing for this collage but it fits the theme so well! Sorry, not sorry. A 3 x 3 collage of various wood carvings of characterful faces, taken at three properties: Speke Hall, Liverpool (Tudor) Lyme Park, Cheshire (Elizabethan) Samlesbury Hall, Lancashire (Tudor) All in dark wood and most taken from a partial side angle so the light illuminates the features. The expressions from top left to bottom right: 1. Miserable as sin. 2. Mother's resigned face of tolerance. 3. Angry bull. 4. Plotting mischief but looking angelic. 5. Unsettled and on the verge of tears. 6. Yum! They (person) look tasty...gaze locked on target. 7. Green eyed monster. 8. Pissed. 9. Evil.

Visited Lyme Park, setting of Pemberley in the BBC Pride and Prejudice. They have a costume room where you can borrow clothes to wander around in. Great fun. #NationalTrust #LymePark #Regency #PrideandPrejudice

Yesterday's hike at Lyme Park. Some epic landscapes along the way, reminded me of The Lord of the Rings at times.

At Lyme Park, one of the filming locations for Stephen Volk's excellent ghost movie, The Awakening (2011), plus the Timeslides episode of one of my favourite shows, Red Dwarf.

Good to catch a sunset in my favourite place when the crowds have all gone home. Lots of cyclists around, I didn’t get the memo so it was a quick walk for me. Can vaguely see Manchester through the haze on the 2nd pic. 22 Degrees & no jacket required at LymePark 🌞😎@nationaltrust.org.uk
Beautiful sunset close by bluebell woods and looking towards Manchester airport. Very hazy evening view of Stockport and Manchester Lyme Park Stately Home Everyone in the pic was a cyclist (even those on the hill) Wonderful evening, 22 degrees & no jacket required…

Photograph taken on the way down a grand staircase at Lyme Park looking at three people in dressed up in Jane Austen era costume. It was all quite bizarre seeing the mixture of visitors in everyday outfits and those in historical costume...then I walked past the 'dressing up room' and all made sense! Spent the day trying to get photos of this strange time travel. Most were loving every second of their make believe. Image shows a hallway with red walls, huge paintings and three huge pillars supporting the landing above. There is a tall, ornate doorway through to the next room at the far end. The floor is polished wood with long red patterned runners leading to the doorway. An illuminated lantern hangs overhead. Three figures in empire-line dresses and bonnets are moving along the hallway. The person at the back is lifting her blue dress slightly to reveal jeans and trainers underneath. Quite the juxtaposition!

Collage of two photographs on the theme of #UpstairsDownstairs. Love a library and always spend more time reading the spines of the books than looking at anything else in the room. Wanted to use a collage to create the feeling of a servant seeing the library bell ringing and imagining the room upstairs. Two images are separated diagonally. Top area shows a view down the huge wall of built-in oak bookcases, full of literary treasures at Lyme Park in Cheshire. The bottom section looks up at a brass servant's bell against a dark wooden horizontal panel with pale cream lettering 'library'. This was taken at Speke Hall in Liverpool.

Photograph taken of a marvellous piece of stained glass in a large window at Lyme Park, Cheshire. This was part of a full year of individual months celebrated in stained glass. Leaded glass panel within a dark wood frame. The panel is a rectangle with a central diamond shape. The four corners are a tomato colour. The central diamond panel shows a painted scene of 'February', which seems to be a lot of people (potentially all blokes) partying around a dice game on a table. It's quite a random scene with a lot to unpick! Apparently it illustrates the 'labours of the months'. Apart from the revellers there's also an owl sitting on a moon, a strange looking dog, someone playing what looks like a grill, a broom with a smoking candle within its sticks, two fish in a bubble in the air. Colours are ochre, deep purple, navy, lime green (hat feathers) and pale blue (tablecloth). Delightful but very random! Lyme House is amazing to visit if you're in the area and has wonderful parkland perfect for a picnic 😊.
