A visit to Hodsock Priory

Hello. These are my photo's and a video from my visit to Hodsock Priory on Saturday. It was a glorious day. I have been here before, in July 2021. I was not able to go inside, there was an equestrian event on as I remember. My visit was part of a longer walk so I didn't have time to linger. There are some photo's on this blog post. 

I saw this Craft Fair advertised on facbooook, so wrote it on my calendar. Hodsock is not far from Blyth in Nottinghamshire. A hop skip and a jump down the M180/M18/A1M south. There were stalls inside and outside. There was a massive queue to buy cooked food on site. The dining room was crowded and there were tables outside on the terrace. 

These rooms are not just for show. There is a bar and people are invited to enjoy a drink and make themselves at home. 

An invitation to play a tune on the piano if anyone would like to. Someone tell Terry Miles there is a public piano here. 🎹🎹🎹

Hello. Can you see me mother. 😁

Sit and read a book if you feel like it. The furniture is beautiful and immaculately clean. 

Floral arrangement perfect for weddings. 

Let's have a look outside. Look at those amazing chimneys.

A fallen tree which looks as if it has been laid on the ground for a few years. I pumped up the contrast on this to bring out the colours. 

Visitors seemed to be curious about these plants. With the right app your hand held smart phone will reveal the name of it. I don't know any plant names but they are pretty.

I did a walkaround video of the outside. There were too many people inside the craft fair. 

Check out the Hodsock Priory website for more details. Take a virtual tour.

It's  smashing place for a visit, but you would have to check the web site for opening times for visitors. 

Crafty Club was busy this morning Full house. This afternoon I felt like walking so I went around the village with my picking stick and a bag, and filled it twice with litter.  

I will leave the comments closed for the time being. I'm sure a lot of people would like to have my guts for garters as the saying goes. And I don't need that hassle. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
