Hi Everybody!
We have had some fantastic weather this past week - warm and sunny, but with the addition of golden, autumnal trees, fallen leaves to scrunch through whilst walking and blue skies which contrast so well with the colours of the foliage.
Our challenge at Tag Tuesday is running for another week, with the theme of flags or bunting. I have another tag to remind me to join in. I cased a tag I made many years back, as I thought it fitting for now:
Tuesday is also Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday, so here a warm welcome to all of the nice ladies of the T gang. I know it's Monday as I write this, but I won't have time to write a post later! This is a journal page made some time back:
On Saturday we drove to a nearby town to visit Baldeney See, a huge lake in a beautiful setting. A lot of people were there to take part in a sport / walking day, and the first big problem was to find a parking spot. My buddy G drove through lanes that were extremely narrow, and found a spot in the end - good job, G! It was almost too hot to walk, at least for me, but we did manage a few kilometers along one side. Here some photos:
Enjoying drinks by the lake:
You can take a trip on the ship:

More photos to follow!
On the way back, G chose some scenic routes to drive along, past castles, meadows, beautiful old houses and bridges. This was a great choice of route to round off a lovely outing!
Summer splendour comes my way from your beautiful post. The tag is stunning..hugs.x

DeleteWonderful post today, love the tag and the journal page, both so different but both gorgeous. Great ideas on your tag! Wonderful photos from Bredeney, it's man years since I was there, and I would love to visit there again. Have a great week, enjoy the sunshine and good weather. Hugs, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI love the tag with the little tags attached. A good idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the tag. How smart to put Tuesday on the bunting. And wow, you really put some sparkle coming from that coffee. I can tell how important a nice cup first thing is to you.And so many people too. Smile. And wow, that lake is beautiful. It looks like a gorgeous September Day, not mid-October. The perfect day to be by the water. Hope your weather continues this week. Hugs-Erika Oh yes, and Happy T day-just a bit early.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have come with you on that fabulous scenic outing! Lovely tag and older page.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing Tag..so cool how you have used the challenge blog name as your bunting..xx
ReplyDelete"A cup of morning sunshine" is a great way to look at it :) Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThat blue water, blue sky, and white sails make for lovely photos. What a fun outing! Thanks for this reminder of the joys of summertime.

ReplyDeleteOMGosh, the lake is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your Tuesday Tag. Purr-fect. I also enjoyed your Cup of Morning Sunshine. Sometimes the night can indeed be dark.
Hugs
I agree the lake is so beautiful-and I can tell from the photos it was a hot day on the water-I enjoyed all the photos.
ReplyDeleteLoved your art-my favorite is the Tuesday one Happy T
Awesome photos of the lake and your trip out on Sunday. The weather looked perfect and the sun seemed to shimmer on the water.
ReplyDeleteYour tag and journal page were fabulous, I loved the 'cup of morning sunshine' super words for your page.
Happy T day wishes.

I love how your tag is smiling. And nothing like that first cup in the morning. If it wasn't for the colorful trees around the lake, it would look more like Summer. The water is so blue or was that the reflection of the sky. Fun to see the ducks watching the sailboats. Happy T Day
ReplyDeletegreat art projects Valerie! I especially love the second one. And oh, those photos of all the boating and waters on such a glorious day...LOVE!!! Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteLove both your art pieces! They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTruly loving all your water photos! Glorious!!!!! Big Hugs!
Beautiful artwork today. And that spot by the lake looks like the perfect place to have a drink. Beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
That tag is awesome. What a great way to honor the challenge. And of course, I remember that wonderful coffee inspired art you shared for T today. It's still a fabulous and opulent painting.
ReplyDeleteThose boats on the lake were fun to see. You and G must have had a fun, fun time because, even though it was quite hot, you got some spectacular shots. Thanks for sharing your tag, your coffee inspired T entry, and the wonderful photos around the lake with us for T this Tuesday.
Terrific tag you dug out for the two themes. It is so bright and clear.
ReplyDeleteLove the piece of art with the first drink of the day--make me think about mine and it is always so good.
Antoher amazing place you visited and brave of N to negotiate the lanes to get there. I liked the 'Trip on a Ship' it sounds so tempting though not on a day like we have here today.
Have a great day
Thank you for commenting at Jumbled Crafts
Love Chrissie xx
Such a beautiful tag! The bunting you made from the discs and tags is wonderful 😀. It looks like you had a lovely day out! The lake is so beautiful and I'd love watching all the boats and maybe take a trip around the lake too ...lol 😉. The views from the café are wonderful! Wishing you the happiest of T Days! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that bunting tag is super! And I just adore the shining cup and radiant face! Gorgeous Valerie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your visit to the lake. The blue water is stunning,but I bet real cold as well!

That is a really good tag and so fitting with the theme.
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed your photos of the lake in the sunshine. With the lovely sail boats. It made me want to be there and sail too.
Very good of G to eventually find a place to park, so you could go for a walk along the lake. The pictures are stunning.
Happy T Day,
Lisca

Your autumn weather and colors sound beautiful, valerie. We don't get autumn colors in Mexico. That's one thing I miss from New Jersey and Wisconsin.
