Showcase UK
To promote areas of the UK you have visited with photographs of local interest and beauty spots within 5 miles, showing off the area to others with information about it.. Photos can be taken by anyone on anything from a box brownie to a high end DSLR to mobile phones and everything in between as long as you have taken them. Absolutely no happy snaps, holiday photos or pets and children. (these will be removed} The aim is to show what beautiful places there are in the UK and perhaps give you the urge to visit yourself.
Open Loop 144

Back for the first time in ten years . Then almost gets stopped by a tree 🌲
We enjoyed the day but the weather could have been kinder, especially as it all ended up running an hour late whilst saws were sent for to remove the offending branches stopping the floats coming out of the sports centre at the start-

The Tinwood Estate - Chichester Sussex (Edited)
The Tinwood Estate is a Vinyard and winery in the South of England where you can watch wine being made and bottled.
Open for day visits or there is limited lodge accommodation if you want to stay on the estate. Breakfast items, (All cold) are delivered to your lodge door in a basket early in the morning.
Walking around the estate will bring you to the Priory of St Mary & St Blaise, Boxgrove, where you can stroll around the ruins outside or pop inside and see many interesting windows and other sights.
Sitting outside our lodge sipping tea and watching the local pilots flying around the skies (including a Spitfire), was very relaxing.-

Various views around Windermere including Wray Castle (worth a visit but don't expect too much!)
There is also a picture of a happy resident showing various colours on her back obtained from the rams who had visited her.-

We recently visited the Cutty Sark, had afternoon tea below her in the dry dock and then walked along the river to the 02
A beautiful day and all paid for by a kind relative who sent us a 'red letter' day-
