England Part 3

I hope you have enjoyed reading/viewing pictures from my visit to England. I have a few more for you to look at! ;-) This post I am going to be showing the pictures that my sister took--since she took some pretty cool ones! This is a overall view of our time in England....Maryvalle, nursery's, train stations, walking to Lyme Hall, Lyme Hall, the English countryside etc.... I believe that these pictures best show the country of England and all it's many charms! Enjoy viewing!!

The first picture actually wasn't taken in England, but it is related.... This little flower is a wayside flower. This flower is most commonly known from the movie "The Scarlet Pimpernel". In this movie an English man saves many French people from death during the french revolution. This man's family symbol is the Scarlet Pimpernel. Whenever this man saves a French person from death, he leaves a note with the seal of this flower. So...this flower is actually called "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and I just discovered it growing in our back yard!

There will be a Part 4...so stay tuned!

God bless!

Scarlet Pimpernel Flower

In England they have Day Nursery's instead of day cares...we thought the name was pretty cute!

Maryvalle....this house was very old and beautiful!

A very English looking couch!

Our Lady and Jesus...a statue in the chapel

The Chapel

On our train ride to Disley. There were so many fields of these yellow flowers!

All English houses/buildings either are made of this white brick, or  redish/brown brick. Everything is made out of bricks!

Self portrait--in the train!

Walking to Lyme Hall

My first view of Lyme Hall

Finally there, and so happy!!

I thought these hedges were pretty cool. 

A kind English lady took our picture!

P&P fans--you can actually see this sign in the movie

Walking through Lyme Park

On top of the world!! We were on top of the hill/mountain and the wind was really blowing! It felt so wonderful!!

Many English Farms still look like this!

The Hunter's lodge 

Their street signs

Back "home" to Maryvalle after a long day of  traveling. The sisters there served us the best meals!

Flying Home!!! We thought these yellow and green fields were kind of cool!

England Part 2

On the last day in England my sister and I took a day trip to town of Disley. From the bus...walking to the train station, on the train the trip took 4 hours. We got off the train in this cute little town. We walked then to the entrance of Lyme Hall.....where the gate house (in the first two pictures) is. It was a beautiful day, but a little chilly (as you can guess in the last picture). We walked from the entrance to the House, which took us 1/2 hour....walking through beautiful the countryside.  We finally reached the house....!!! We were able to tour the house and gardens. The gardens were very beautiful and so peaceful, we wished we could have stayed there for longer, but we had to get back to Maryvalle (where we were staying).

Btw.... English people make the best sandwiches. We had so many sandwiches when we were there!! We had never had such a good sandwich before!

Look at the captions under the photos to see the description.

I will post Part 3 at a later time! :)

The Orangery---which to us(in the U.S.) is a green house. This  building had the most delicious scent...all those beautiful flowers!

Lyme Hall 

Oh, those wonderful stairs... remember some two special people walking up them?!

Lyme Hall's gardens were so beautiful!

We loved that they planted flowers in the shape of a cross

When we were touring the house we saw the other side of this clock...very cool!

Even their bridges are unique and beautiful!
