Summer is officially here and boy has it felt like it this week with the hottest days we've had in June since the 70's. . I'd love to get away on holiday this summer but when you get weeks like this, a staycation is just as good. You can be sat on a beach in Cornwall and be anywhere in the world. . Time for a road trip me thinks! . Happy Thursday 😄 . . . . . . . . . #mybritain #lovegreatbritain #ukpotd #visitengland #visitbritain #photosofbritain #photosofengland #ig_britishisles #guardiantravelsnaps #persuepretty #bbctravel #seetoshare #greatbritain #searchwandercollect Ever get those mornings where you can't stop hitting snooze and bring yourself to open your eyes? That's me this morning. More 💤's required 😂 . Coffee here I come 😍☕ Think I will be fuelled on it today. . Happy hump day! Nearly weekend and off to visit family in Kent 😄✨ Any National Trust suggestions? . . . . . . #beltonhouse #nationaltrust The Italian Gardens with views of the orangery. Much like my own back yard.. 😂🌿 (In my dreams) . I'm trying to forget how much weeding my garden needs and also telling myself that it is daft to even think about doing gardening in 30 degree heat, much better to wander round pretty gardens like these instead! And perhaps hang out in a supermarket round the chilled section. I did that today... . . . . . . . . #feelfreefeed #simplenaturefinds #greeninmyfeed #verilymoment #dslooking #pursuepretty #livelittlethings #alovefornaturesbest #makemoments #lbloggers Can't imagine how hot it would have been inside the orangery at Belton today! Glad I got to enjoy it at the weekend when it was a teensy bit cooler. . We don't get to experience real heat here often but when we do there's no cooling down! We've had paddling pool time, ice cream..I'm actually looking forward to going back to work on Wednesday as it's the one time a year when it's enjoyable being in an 18th century building that never heats up!! Don't remind me of that in a few months time when I'm complaining about how cold I am... . . . . . . #feelfreefeed #ofsimplethings #greeninmyfeed #inspiredbypetals #verilymoment #botanicalpickmeup #inspiremyinstagram #underthefloralspell #mymonthofsundays #slowfloralstyle #seekthesimplicity Something pretty for Monday morning 🌹 . Currently debating whether to take Heidi out for a walk or get the paddling pool out. Choices choices! I think either option should contain ice cream though. . Hope everyone is enjoying this heat wave that's descended on us 🌞 . . . . . . . . . #beltonhouse #nationaltrust #feelfreefeed #simplenaturefinds #greeninmyfeed #inspiredbypetals #verilymoment #botanicalpickmeup #livelittlethings #mymonthofsundays #slowfloralstyle Finally, a photo from our trip to Belton House last weekend. We had a fabulous day out exploring the house and gardens, just wished we had packed a picnic!! The weather and grass were perfect 😍 Yes, there can be and is such a thing as perfect picnic grass..true story. . Hope you're all enjoying this glorious weather! Happy weekend 😄🥂 . . . . . . . #beltonhouse #nationaltrust #countryhouse Rose framed windows anyone? I wouldn't say no to a few. Haddon Hall has more than their fair share and they do them so well 😍🌹❤ . I've been a little quiet here on IG this week! Been out having family time and the free time I have had has been taken up by a new project I have up my sleeves. I need to be like Hermione and get in on one of those time turners in Potter world. . Hope everyone has had a fab week + weekend! 😄🤗 Will get around to sharing my latest explorations as fast as I can edit photos! Happy Tuesday 😉👍 . . . . . . . . #haddonhall #derbyshire #visitderbyshire #eastmidlands #rsadoorsandwindows #underthefloralspell #inspiredbypetals I know I've already told you before that Haddon Hall is described by Simon Jenkins in “1000 Best Houses” as 'the most perfect house to survive from the middle ages', but I'll tell you again because it really is the most perfect, beautiful, enchanting of all the houses I've been to - particularly in June when all the roses are out. . . . . . . . . #derbyshire #visitderbyshire #eastmidlands #peakdistrict #haddonhall #lbloggers The fame of the Bakewell Pudding has spread so far that it is now high on the list of favourite British puddings. . According to tradition, the recipe was the result of an error that happened in the kitchen of the Rutland Arms Hotel in around 1860. The cook, flustered by a request from some important guests to prepare a special order of strawberry tart, put the jam in first, then poured in the egg mixture destined for the pastry on top. . Far from being a disaster, the new invention was hailed as a culinary triumph and became a regular item on the menu. . Incidentally, don't ask for a Bakewell Tart in Bakewell, they are called puddings around this way! And don't enquire as to who owns the original recipe included in the will of the cook at the Rutland Arms, it is still the cause of local dispute and rivalry! . Either way, Bakewell Puddings are delish!! . On another note, because I'm British and find it hard not to mention the weather, where on earth did all this wind and rain come from lately? I'd like to put in a request to have the sun back please 🌞🌞🌞🌞 . . . . . . . . . #bakewell #derbyshire #visitderbyshire #eastmidlands #peakdistrict #derbyshiregems Bakewell is a tourist honeypot and is always busy with visitors and locals. . This Derbyshire town dates back centuries, being granted a market and 15 day fair in 1254, but despite this there are surprisingly very few old buildings left. One of the oldest, up the steep road on the west side of town on a grass bank is the church of All Saints. Inside are fragments of Saxon and Norman stonework. . We continued climbing the steep road and found a clearing which gave these fantastic views over the church and surrounding Derbyshire countryside. . Happy Monday all 😄🌼👍 . . . . . . . . . #visitderbyshire #bakewell #derbyshire #igersuk #peakdistrict #country_features #icu_britain #liveuk #mybritain #lovegreatbritain #ukpotd #englishcountryside #bbctravel
