A Wander around Waverley

As the weather has been lovely round these parts for the last few days (maybe a tad humid) we took the opportunity to take a wander around our beloved Waverley Abbey.  Such a favourite spot for us.


The scenery has changed quite a bit here in the last few weeks.  A lot of the area has been allowed to grow wild and there are many gorgeous wildflowers and grasses growing.



Happy daisies


Such beautiful old stone walls

Bright buttercups



Cow Parsley in abundance!



This is all that's left of the main part of the Abbey and it dates back to 1128.

I LoVe to think of all the people that have walk on this amazing site.



Beautiful blue skies



Through a window...........



These have got to be the BiGgEsT dandilion clocks I have ever seen!



Little Miss making a wish!



Little Mister having a good look before trying to pop it in his mouth!



Fabulous stone!



Amazing Yew Tree roots.



And after our lovely walk the children were bushed and had a lovely long sleep so I managed to have a play with some yarn.

Pretty daisy brooch.


And little hanging hearts - these are seriously addictive as the are soooooo quick to make!
You can find the pattern over at the lovely Blooming Times


I hope the sun has shone for you!

    That crochet daisy would look gorgeous on a hair clip and I adore those little crochet hearts.

    ps: am slightly in love with Little Miss's polka dot number! Wonder if I can get one in my size? ;-)
