A Walk in the Rain

 

Went for a wee walk in the Mizzle today with The Mister. We visited the gardens of the Elizabethan house that is 'more glass than wall', Hardwick Hall. Extremely foggy, the house had a strange and eerie feel. Loved it. Only sorry we couldn't go in.

Home for a pot of tea and a lush plate of Inverawe smoked salmon with scrambled egg. I ventured to buy a packet of the 'by Royal appointment' salmon after a work colleague recommended it. I only bought trimmings mind, well, it was the best smoked salmon we've ever tasted. I shall be purchasing some more for my new freezer.

Keep well everyone.

  1. I've only visited Hardwick Hall once, a few years ago when my husband was working in Derby, thoroughly enjoyed it. Bess was quite a woman.

  2. Did this Mansion appear in a Harry Potter film? Not the best reference for a wonderful historical landmark,is it? We actually enjoy a walk in the rain (as long as it isn't torrential) everything looks and smells washed clean. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg sounds delicious. keep well Amanda x

    1. Yes, it was Malfoy Manor, exterior shots anyway. Plus the entrance hall. It is a superb building, Testament to the power of Bess of Hardwick. Or the Countess of Shrewsbury as she became.

  3. How I love the peeks into your little part of the world! I so look forward to your posts LOL (guess "living vicariously" has become more of a lifeline than ever before these days). Ahhhh....I love, love, love a good smoked salmon. Haven't had any in a good long while. But with scrambled eggs LOL? ~Robin~

  4. I'm super pleased you're enjoying my posts. I really like to follow yours too. I accidently deleted your last comment but managed to cut and paste it from my email notification. My husband and I visited New England about 12 years ago and we went to Salem amongst other lovely places. You must save your pennies and visit Blighty you would simply love it.
