ROCKING YOUR WORLD FRIDAY (WHOOPS) - 24TH OF 2023

 Morning all tis not Friday tis Saturday but let's pretend

Well last Friday I had to go into work to finish of a few things, hubby stayed at home for the boiler man to repair the boiler and also to sort more on the stairs.

After the work bit at work, I headed down to a wonderful class making bath bombs, it was a class for those struggling with mental health and there are times in the last few months where I've definitely struggled.  So I had an amazing couple of hours with some wonderful people most of whom I didn't know and a lady expert in all things bath bomb related including some wonderful essential oils.

We spent 2 hours mixing potions and creating these wonderful items, which if I'm honest have remained in my dining room making the room smell amazing for the whole week.

So I decided that we really needed some down time and escape time away from the house, so we set off for a wander around this beautiful house (which is a stone's throw away) for a wander around both the house and the gardens. 

The pillared hall is currently home to a digitial exhibition from an artist we have previously seen at YSP Jason and his Argonauts.

there was plenty of digital art in different formats from light boxes

to blow up models, highlighting the plight of those with disabilities.  

We wandered the house the neon horse still within the Whistlejacket room

but alas the recent roof replacement has meant the roof space has dried out and is now causing significant issues with the beautiful ornate plaster ceilings, which for how have had to be literally braced to prevent further damage. 

We stopped off for a cuppa and a honey and rosemary shortbread

Outside the garden was really hot but plenty of shade, so selfie time

We found a new sculpture on the hill, apparently a camel teapot

Sunday and off out again this time to YSP, breakfast first

then on for a lovely walk we saw ducklings

beautiful sunshine in the trees

and new artwork

this was is an actual car that has been distorted like a cartoon car going around a corner - it really did take some getting my head around

this is hubby engaging with the art as instructed

he definitely had me giggling

he really can't help himself

and this was my favourite piece, the orange against that blue sky was absolutely stunning

the walk was exhausting but fun, we came back home and had a snooze and woke feeling peckish but not ready for anything major to eat, I managed to put this together from things I found in the fridge and freezer and it was delicious. 

The rest of the week has tripped along at a merry old pace (as always) and yesterday was manic (more about that next week). 

I hope you've had a good week and weekend, I'll try and catch up on posts but it may be tomorrow afternoon before I get to them, no time to check for typos, so apologies if there are some. 

Hugs
