Rocking Your World Friday - 44th of 2019

Good Afternoon lovely people tis Friday which means it is time for 


So first up was last weekend, Saturday was a day of happy rugby (hubby most happy) and tootling about the house, Sunday we decided given the blue skies that we'd head to Chatsworth and put our membership through its paces

As it was half term week and heading up to Halloween there was a pumpkin trail to follow, I loved this display


We also spotted a pear sculpture


The house looked particularly pretty 


And the quantity of rain we had meant that all the water features were on full flow


I don't think I've ever seen the trough waterfall so full 


The colours by the grotto were stunning


And really made the Hare pop


Hubby grabbed this photo of me


Nature's colours really are stunning


Britannia still looking mighty fine inside the grotto


The view of the maze was fab


There were lots of people enjoying it 


We also loved the cascade pumpkins, I've never thought of turning the pumpkin this way


This one looked really grumpy


I managed to grab an autumn selfie of the two of us (said 19 year old was working). 


On Wednesday I took a day off that I was owed to go to an alternative wreath class. 

This was our classroom 






It was an absolutely fantastic day at Wentworth Woodhouse, spent making an alternative wreath with Gemma from the Button Tin.  

We spent all day, cutting and hand stitching and chatting, with lots of ladies I'd never met before 

And this is what I created


It was such a lovely laid back and relaxing day that I really enjoyed and it was so lovely to learn something new. 

Unfortunately, our house has succumbed to the dreaded lurgy courtesy of our lovely uni student, he came home the other day complaining everyone was coughing and sneezing, by Wednesday he was sleeping through the day and night, by Thursday he was no better and had to take the day off.  This has resulted in hubby coming down with the same lurgy, so fingers crossed I don't get it because I'm really not in the mood for being poorly. 

Fingers crossed they feel better very very soon. 

I hope you've had a great week, if you are about and fancy joining in pop a post together come back and link up and we can come and visit.  I'm sure Lisca will have done hers already hours and hours ago and Kate is probably still away.

Yes, I had my blogpost done this morning. But usually I post mine at midnight as you might have noticed. Not this time. We have been out for a drink with our friends and I completely forgot.
Oh gosh, I hope you don't get their cold! Take high doses of vit C for a few days and drink lots.
Your wreath is gorgeous! You did a really good job with that.
I always love seeing photos from Chatsworth, especially this time with those lovely autumn colours. Stunning.
Have a lovely weekend,
Hugs,
Lisca

I agree about the autumn colours, Chatsworth was looking singularly spectacular last week! Your alternative wreath too is gorgeous. Hope you don't catch the lurgy, tell them to keep it to themselves!! Enjoy the weekend (germs allowing) xx

Be well friend. I like the wreath you created and all the beauty of the Chatsworth house grounds. I had never seen pumpkins carved using the stem in that manner, very clever.
