I'm absolutely guttered but we've had to cancel our holiday to Cornwall because I'm just not well enough to go. It's really disappointing as we were so looking forward to it, but hopefully next year, when I come back from Australia.

Anyway, we decided to go for a day trip to Leeds Castle in Kent as our year ticket was due to expire. We took a posh picnic lunch and had a fabulous day. We had our dinner in a lovely little village pub... outside cos the weather was so perfect!!

I had such a great time, I wanted to share my pics with you all.

This is us before we set off, we had to drop our dog (Toya) off at "grandma's".


This is where we had our picnic.


Where we were joined the friendliest little flock of 6 geese, they were really friendly and so cute!!

Then went to the maze and grotto. We couldn't take the wheelchair in so I bought a postcard of the arial view of the maze, so I didn't waste energy getting lost!!


The grotto is amazing, it was well worth the energy!!

The castle:


The avaries where they breed toucans:

Looks like you had a wonderful time

Sorry you couldn't get to Cornwall, Ekidna, but lovely pictures and glad you had a nice time.

Looks like the weather cooperated to give you a nice day. The pictures are wonderful. To bad about the holiday but you will enjoy it even more when you do feel well enough to have a proper one.

I'm glad you had a good time at leeds castle,and at least you are going to Australia next year, Are you visiting the family?
I spy with my little eye an........crossstitcher mag in your bag...lol
BTW I just love your scarf and hat.

Sorry about Cornwall, but love the pics! Especially feeding the geese!

Well spotted Rachel!

Those Geese are gorgeous!

I'm glad you had a good picnic... The trip will be even better when you do go... Feel Better!

Sorry to hear u aint well enough to go to cornwall, glad u managed to have a lovely day out though looks wonderful.

I was just about to write the same thing connieo wrote about the mag lol.

Sorry you didn't get to Cornwall, but it looks like you had a great time at Leeds Castle anyway. Love the photos.

What a pity you had to lose out on your holiday!! A Real bummer!

I have never been to Leeds castle, it looks fantastic! I agree with Rachael about the hat, but couldn't you have got a co-ordinating wheelchair??!

sorry you couldn't go where u wanted but looks like all was not lost!

Well, my friend has a bright blue one, but that wouldn't have gone either.. have to accessorize better next time!! Mind, I did wear my red coat, so that matched!!

I love that hat and scarf set, I've got quite a few, it's one of my addictions. Just love winter and autumn clothes. I collect bags too, lots of different shapes, sizes and colours, makes me feel better if I've got colourful bright things!! Well, that's what I tell hubby when he's having to share half his wardrobe space with me and cursing me for it!!

I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time on your trip to Australia.
The photo of the castle looks stunning!

Sorry to hear that you had to cancel your Cornish holiday, but looks like you had a great day out at Leeds Castle.

Shame you had to miss out but looks like you had a great time anyway. Love the pics. I just love castles.

What a pity you had to cancel your Cornish trip, but pleased that you enjoyed your outing to Leeds Castle. I've never been there either, but it looks lovely.
