Outings

I've managed to complete a couple of layouts to add to my scrapbooks this weekend. They've been sat on my computer gathering pixel dust and finally I've printed out the photos and cobbled the patterned paper together. They both depict recent trips out that Nick & I have done locally. Blame it on the recent good weather, but we've hardly been at home recently. And I have a shed load of pages to make as a result.

The first is a wonderful pig farm up near Chapel-en-le-Frith, in the Peak District. We went to check out the animals which result in the best meat ever! I used to stay on pig farms as a child, in Wales. My parents didn't have a lot of money going spare in those days and family holidays involved farms which doubled as B&Bs. It took me right back when I saw the piglets. However, I'd forgotten about the racket they can make.

The other layout is on Tatton Park. The most popular, largest park locally & neither Nick nor I have ever visited it. Mainly because at the weekends, we imagine it to be packed to gills and a nightmare to drive into. However, it was a sunny Tuesday afternoon, it was Nick's birthday and he'd managed to sneak away from work (well he is self employed). The park was busy but not overly so, as we'd hoped. We sat and ate ice creams and strolled around the beautiful formal gardens. We finished the day off by attempting (& succeeding at) the maze. And believe you me, it isn't as easy as you may think.

So that's two LOs down, just another two hundred to go LOL.
