My Sunday Photo... Nantwich, Cheshire

The quaint market town of Nantwich, Cheshire.
I missed last weekends link up as I was away celebrating my brother's birthday.
Between riffle shooting, archery, swimming, curling, golf, quizzes, cabaret, dancing and of course eating and drinking... we took a walk into Nantwich Town.
It's a beautiful place and thankfully the weather made the visit all the more pleasant.

    1. I first thought it was my eyes or maybe a glass too many over lunch, but they are sound and wonky they are.
      Amazing historical buildings.

  5. What a majestic row of Tudor houses. I love Nantwich, I used to go there each year for the International Cheese Festival, so I have a soft spot for the place!

    1. They are indeed majestic. Great to hear that you visited Nantwich each year too.
      We would love to have visited the Cheese show but unfortunately the dates didn't match up. But you'll be happy to know that before we left Cheshire we bought a consignment of Cheshire cheese home.

  6. Beautiful architecture. I'd love to live in a house like this!

    1. They are lovely but I'm not sure I'd like to live in one.
      They are a little too wonky for me and rather dark inside. The windows are so small but can you imagine what stories those wall contain. Maybe even the odd ghost?

  7. Gorgeous, and I love how squint they are! Lovely photo x

    1. I didn't think their wonkyness showed up in the photo. They really are squiffy but they are still standing after all these years so maybe a little wonky isn't so bad after all?

    1. I've got a close up of that particular building Tara and yes it is incredibly higgledy piggledy. When you look at it you can't help but have your eyes do a dance trying to put it into place.
      We did have a great time too.

  11. It is a beautiful town! My in-laws are from Cheshire and my mother-in-law has a canal boat moored near Nantwich. It's been a few years since we've been there.

    1. It's a very pretty town Sarah, and it's interesting to hear that you have been a regular visitor. One of our party loves canal boats and locks so walked along the canal checking out all of the boats. Who knows he might have even seen your MIL's boat?

    What glorious buildings! Wouldn't it be great if today's new buildings were as bonny, *sigh* :D
    Happy Sunday :D xoxo

    1. I noticed that too Mo and had a giggle to myself.
      They are amazing buildings and have certainly stood the test of time. There's actually a castle underground too. It had to go when after a fire it was in the way of the new towns plan. Incredible eh?
      Happy Sunday to you too ;D

  16. Wonky, higgledie piggledie, and all that bric a brac trim makes for a very old version of a modern (agrhh, my old mind went blank).....optical ...well you know, makes the eyes go crazy if one looks too long. Lovely and quaint for sure. And I'll bet you're resting up n recovering from all the partying, huh!? Have a fab week, Nessie. I'm unpacking, purging and organizing my studio. Yea! Back to creative play next month. Hugs from me and the Girls.

      It certainly was a busy time and we used every second so yes I'm needing to rest but then when you've been away for a wee while there's so much to catch up on... so no rest for the wicked!
      Great to hear you're getting sorted and creating once again.
      Have fun and hugs back to you and the girls.

    1. Nantwich isn't far from my family who live on the Wirral. It was a lovely walk from the Hotel. If you'd like to see the hotel we stayed in just scroll down my post to Wednesday. If you do manage to visit I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
      Here's a link to see what else is around the area....

  19. Wonderful - I found it amusing that right next door to the woolen company is a cleaners/dry cleaners? What is that business - the the woolen mill store is from Scotland?
    Love the photo - thanks!

    1. I'm amazed the wood hasn't rotted away many years ago Cheryl. They are incredible to be still standing and to look like they do. It really is a pretty town. Very striking indeed.

  21. Looks like a storybook! :)
    Sounds like a very active birthday celebration with a little danger thrown in for good measure-LOL! (Arrows and guns are dangerous to me.)

    1. It is a very picturesque part of the country... but then I grew up in Cheshire and my family are still there, so I may be a tad biased.
      It was a very active celebration that lasted four days Rita!
      Don't worry we obeyed all of the Health and Safety rules concerning the arrows and guns. No harm was done I can assure you ;D

  28. This fab photo would come out well in one of your zentangle drawings, Nessie. In fact it should have been an activity for all between the riffle shooting and the cabaret dancing, No doubt you would have worked up quite an appetite with all those activities, that's quite some wardrobe you had to pack... come to think about it, what does one wear for curling?!
    Glad you all had a great time

  29. Another wonderful masterpiece of your day in color and perfection. The realism is so good, I jumped back when I saw the spider. And actually want to touch the screen to see if I could feel the squirrel's tail. Lovely work. I want to give this style a try. We are going to Lake Tahoe for a week... I will experiment there....Thanks for your inspiration every time I visit your blog.
