Wollaton Wander

Given the choice of a visit to Wollaton Park, or putting up an Ikea wardrobe - I will always pick the park.

Saturday was predicted to be a sunny day, but Sunday, not so much - so I decided that it was better to go to the park in the sunshine, and spend the rainy day swearing inside a wardrobe.


The Boy was keen; wearing sunglasses because it was sunny, and not wearing a hat because we are idiots.





The stables are nice, but don't look especially grand - they do however, contain toilets, and a coffee shop.

From the outside however, the stables are rather grand.

Inside the hall there is a display of muskets.

We waited for friends outside the Hall.

It is probably worth noting that the sky in all these pictures was completely empty - not only of clouds, but of contrails too - there were no jet planes flying because of the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland.

Here's a hastily stitched panorama as illustration.
