The weather was so beautiful yesterday it called for a day out which meant arriving at Little Morton Hall just in time for coffee cake 
The hall is quite quaint and is so higgledy piggledy it surprises me that it is still standing in tact. There is a little chapel attached to it and every time I visit I can feel a presence in there.

Next port of call was Jodrell Bank, home of the Lovell Telescope.
Since the summer of 1957 it has been quietly probing the depths of space, a symbol of our wish to understand the universe in which we live. Even now, it remains one of the biggest and most powerful radio telescopes in the world, spending most of its time investigating cosmic phenomena which were undreamed of when it was conceived.
It was a fun day out which is more than can be said for today, but enough said about that. At least I was able to get some photographs of the cross from yesterday’s Easter celebrations at the local Parish Church. A wooden cross was erected and adorned with flowers, the way the petals have fallen beneath the cross is quite effective…

/ April 14, 2009What an incredibly beautiful place Little Morton Hall is. I’d go there like a shot – even without yummy coffee cake!
CherryPie
/ April 14, 2009Angus – Thank You. The cake was delicious but not quite up to the Attingham Park standard!
JHL – You had me thinking you knew something about me that I didn’t for a minute then. The naming of that prison is quite a co-incidence especially considering I post on RAF issues as well as National Trust properties. I think Little Moreton Hall looks a bit more friendly than the building on your link
Jams – I think it is another place you would like. Unfortunately no pictures can be taken inside though.
Uber – Thank You
I didn’t change the colours, but I used a programme called ‘Virtual Painter’, which has made the flowers more intense (that bit of the photo was in shadow) I did several other versions later and I have a very Gothic version!
