COUNTRY FAIR........


Fifteen minutes walk from our mooring is Shugborough Hall, Park and Farm covering 900 odd acres. Now a trust and run by the Staffordshire County Council, there was a food and drink festival  there Saturday and Sunday. With the sun shining we made our way over Saturday. There were bands playing and regular cooking demonstrations by some renowned chefs.



A section of the crowd.. It was a  very "laid back" country affair..... suitable for narrow boaters....






Shugborough Hall, 1693, shaped Yew tree's form a nice  alley..





There's a large country garden with some nice sculptures.....




 


Old Boat House  near the water feature in front of the Hall......






Plenty of food samples to try, Fudge was good......
 





Make your own Spirits......







On the steps to front of Hall.....





Leonie liked this sculpture,  said it remaindered her of the trophy's I used to win........






Nice place to sit on a sunny day.......





 
Bridge over the water feature.....

 





No.... I Have Never Worked At Candy"s.....  ate it all by herself......





Nice Boots,  the top half was a bit  Marilyn Manson  .........


 



A good day in the Park......
