Trip to Hardwick, Lincoln and Skegness (August 2019)

Hardwick

• 
  This is Bess; how little a painting tells of a giant.
• 
  It rained crazily as we visited the house itself.
• 
  The Sea Dog Table, maybe stolen by Elizabeth I to Mary Queen of Scots.
• 
  The Long gallery ranks among the top sights in the UK.
• 
  There is usually a chimney in the centre. This one is a building by itself.
• 
  Julia in the throne room.
• 
  Detail of a precious furniture.
• 
  Detail of a plaster wall decoration (Dieu Eist Mon Droit)
• 
  Back outside.
• 
  More glasses than wall.
• 
  In the park.
• 
  And around the property.
• 
  ES stands for Elizabeth Shrewsbury.
• 
  In the fields nearby.
• 
  Where we found imaginative playgrounds.
