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.
