Every man & his dog are on the bus! The Leicester Transport Heritage Trust organised a running day to celebrate the "100th Anniversary of Municipal Motorbuses in Leicester". Preserved heritage buses ran from De Montfort Hall to the old tram depot on London Road in Leicester, a 4.5 mile roundtrip. We are on the top deck of Fleet number 154 a Leyland Titan PD2 bus built in 1950. Happy Bench Monday (or is it Happy Bus Monday?) to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.

In between the showers the sun did shine and I managed to get this shot of Belton House. Belton is a Grade I listed country house built between 1685 and 1687 by Sir John Brownlow & cared for today by the National Trust. HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start to the new week.

Is this Brown-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia triloba or is it Common Sneezeweed? - the leaves and petals from which were used to make snuff.

It may be the walled garden at National Trust's Calke Abbey but the bullrushes and other water plants are kept off the lawn by a fence! HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Another visit to The National Trust's only house in Leicestershire! Stoneywell was built by Earnest Gimson for his brother, a Leicester industrialist, as a summer holiday home in the late 1890s. It was built in the Arts & Crafts tradition and style with much of the original furniture hand-made by Barnsley. In keeping with the back-to-nature style it was built over an outcrop of volcanic rock but of course this means the house is damp.

Red-hot Pokers (Kniphofia) in the garden at Dudmaston Hall National Trust near Shrewsbury. I'm not sure of the history but those windows have come and gone. HWW to everyone!

A ride out west to Shropshire where we hoped to see a bit more sun took us to the National Trust at Dudmaston Hall. No sun I'm afraid but a beautiful house and gardens.

Singing and enjoying the sunshine in the walled garden at Calke Abbey.
