Here we are again, Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret!
Well, it looks like The Missus is all prepared for her Master Class on Friday and Saturday, all the samples have been done and she can relax now!
To celebrate, we decided to visit the old Bolton Abbey down the road.
Like every car park we have seen, this one was also a mighty price, £8 for a car and two Two Legs!
Poor Old Two Legs nearly had a fit!
The only good thing was that the cost did allow you to visit the three car parks on the estate!
So, after a late breakfast, off we set looking to see the abbey without the rain!
Now, just to show that we are on OTL's side, I waited until I got into the abbey grounds before I decided I really, really needed a poo and just couldn't wait any longer!
Once I had finished OTL picked it up in a Poo Bag and put in the Green Bin hanging from the fence post.
'There' says OTL, 'Included in the price of the Car Park Ticket, they can bless that lot as well'!
Holy Poo? Now that is a new one. I have always said that the sun shines out from under my tail!
OTL dashed off over the bridge 'cos he wanted to see TM and us dance across the river on the stepping stones but because of all the rain we have had, the stones were under water and too dodgy to try crossing the river on them!

| a 'Stony Road To Church! |
OTL says it had something to do with Henry VIII and the 'Dissolution'!
Holly said that they could have got a good price for Roofing Lead in those days!
 |
| OK, but only in the summer! |
Right up in the roof OTL spotted this Geezer, he thinks that it is the Green Man, a sort of Pagan God of forest and all growing things! He was supposed to get the young maidens into trouble around Spring time!
 |
| Eh! Fancy a trip around the Maypole? |
 |
| HOW MUCH!!!!! |
 |
| St Mary and St Cuthbert |
You would have thought that by now they would have done more to rebuild the abbey but I suppose it is like all decorators and builders, they never seem to turn up and the price of Roofing Lead has gone through the ceiling!
Sorry, I just couldn't help that one!
 |
| Nice bit of wall painting! |
 |
| Just look at the colours! |
When we came back, OTL turned off the road and back into the abbey grounds again but this time he headed back to the Cafe. Down the bottom of the long drive was a little hut in which sat a TL collecting £8 off every car that tried to get in!
When it came to our turn, OTL waved the parking ticket he had got before which allows us in to car park without any further cost!
This attendant looked right upset and took the parking receipt and scrawled a big blue cross on it, to show we have be in his car park!
TM says to OTL, 'why have you come in here?' OTL looks sideways and says ' 'cos I've paid for it and I just wanted to use it'!
Well, there is nothing like seeing a parking attendant with a blue pen getting upset!
If he came to TM's Master Class he could use the pen to do some 'blending' all over his tickets, but with style and an artistic flourish!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Daisy, Holly, Miss May, Miss Wendy and Freddy de Ferret.
That's parking with twice as many wee's at this rate you will be there for ten years or will you be leaving with an IOU for Yorkshire Wee's from the Mayor? You could hang it on the wall with the ferrets rosettes. Bolton Abbey is very photogenic shame you couldn't walk the stones, the window is lovely. Hope TM has a couple of brilliant Master Classes, there will be crafters looking forward to their day, I am sure of that. Did the local shops have doggie things to your liking, I would hate to think of OTL popping home to your doggie shop although I am certain he would go anywhere for his little family, kiss, kiss, kiss. xxxxx
ReplyDeleteEvening little maties up there in the norf where it's expensive to wee and poo. I quite like the sound of your day but it sure is expensive up there to park. I think I would have like my name written on my poo bag for that price. Did you get decent muggings last night? My mum and my boy and Barbara from next door went out for a pup lunch today, I got left home alone, wot is it with these TL's and their pup lunches. I hope you got a doggie bag cos I didn't. Don't think I would want to use those stones, it looks way to wet for my liking. Now my mum says, usually people from up norf are quite friendly but she can't understand wots wrong with these wardens and parking TL's, they do seem to be a bit ferious and not very welcoming. Me and my mum reckon your Mrs TM could have done a better job with them wall hangings, I'm mean, they're quite alright in photos but your Mrs TM is much more colourful. Now as for a place with no roof, you'd have thought with all the money they rack in for parking, they'd have been able to have afforded a new roof long before now. We're all warm and snug here and last night we couldn't hear any noise from outside, it kept me and my mum awake cos we couldn't get used to not hearing all the cars going by. Good to hear that Mrs TM can have a rest and enjoy her holibobs now that she's finished her samples for her workshop. My mum reckons she'd have paid OTL's parking fee for a picture of Mrs TM dancing across them stones. Have a good evening all, we're going to have an early night and enjoy the quiet. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and Mr Nipper xxxxxxxx
