Onions,Art and Limestone Pavements

Had a glorious day for our first full day but decided to have an easy day. We knew Saturday would be busy most days but noticed that Sizergh Castle was shut but grounds open and there were artists in residence.

No photos of the artists but I saw some lovely ladies who were lace making and then met a printmaker with some very nice squashed seaweed prints really I was intrigued and then a lady who did ink and watercolour.

The gardens were beautiful in the sunshine we had a really nice stroll round the grounds and I made several new friends hopefully this first little guy will be lucky.

This is a chicken I had a chat to she was not in the chicken place so I think she was a little bit naughty.

And finally I found a National Trust Gardener that was happy to let me pose with him for a picture

The amazing big onions in the Vegetable Garden 

We decided to drive to Kirkby Lonsdale for lunch and had a scrummy meal in Number 44 then a walk by the River Lune past Devils Bridge and then back up through all the old mill houses and spotted one for sale ooh tempting ...NOT

We finally spent the last part of the afternoon looking for a nature reserve we couldn't find and ended up at some limestone pavements of historic interest at Hutton Roof. I later discovered that the Nature Reserve was only accessible from here but didn't seem to be signposted that well.

And another photo of me cos that is what this holiday is all about!
