At the moment, if you're not, I don't think you can gain access at all although there's always the shop and the plants (if they are actually open right now). Hylands is also lovely for walks.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-20630873207545019042021-01-12T06:14:38.469+00:002021-01-12T06:14:38.469+00:00I agree totally - it's just very satisfactory....I agree totally - it's just very satisfactory.<br />These 'Great British . . .' things do seem very popular, don't they?<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-67509944735263956452021-01-12T06:13:25.357+00:002021-01-12T06:13:25.357+00:00It did cloud over and we've had rain overnight...It did cloud over and we've had rain overnight, sadly.<br />I like watching YouTube on the telly too - there's some interesting stuff there.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-60078487375003522742021-01-12T06:11:14.653+00:002021-01-12T06:11:14.653+00:00I think it was very, very close for the top.

It's a good mix of characters this time, isn't it. I did like the winning cheese set and also the bee one but the white one would have been my favourite though it didn't quite work out for him. I liked the simplicity of it.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-89974516384306722192021-01-11T10:30:38.972+00:002021-01-11T10:30:38.972+00:00I was watching the pottery throwdown and immediate...I was watching the pottery throwdown and immediately thought of you! I felt sorry for the 'leaver' it did not go to plan at all - I like all things simple but sadly it did not work in this instance. It is probably the case that you have to work at it much more to produce something that has very little decoration or colour.<br />PS I hope you will be applying for the next program!wherethejourneytakesme2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01331935561823130257noreply@blogger.com
