This week I have some time off work. Eldest and I decided to head out early(ish) and have breakfast with a view. Marmalade sandwiches at the top of the hill on a sunny morning were wonderful.
Old John tower looked gorgeous in the morning light, and we had the place to ourselves.
I could have stayed for ages but the boy wanted to move on after he had taken some photos of his own. The path leads down to the stream and...joy....we came across lots of pretty deer. I was fascinated by their velvet covered antlers.
This visit to Bradgate Park was a simply wonderful start to my "staycation" week.

I'm so glad you have some time off and such gorgeous places to visit with your son! I was overjoyed to see the incredible photos of those spotted deer! They don't seem bothered about your presence at all.. so pretty! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful views around Bradgate Park. So interesting, I know another (former) blogger who also visits there with her boy; I recognize the stone tower from her photos. It's a small world sometimes. It looks like a wonderful place for walking, or eating marmalade sandwiches for breakfast! And to see deer with velvet antlers as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. What a way to enjoy your breakfast! X
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful spot, those views! A great idea to take your breakfast up there. A pretty walk back as well. Have a good week Jacquie. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way of taking breakfast, Jacquie. I should take a leaf out of your book - though I think I'd go for cheese, rather than marmalade. I need to take note of Bradgate Park, too - another one for the list. Lovely shots - you can almost smell it.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful breakfast with you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to have breakfast. Those deer are beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome place to breakfast. Fabulous view. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to be able to walk from your home and see these wondrous sites! Wow! Thanks for sharing this beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love how the antlers look when they are in velvet. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love Bradgate Park, just a few miles away from me. It's a great place to walk to blow the cobwebs away.
ReplyDeleteSweet to have that special time together! And what views! Those velvety antlers would fascinate me too.
ReplyDeleteOh I loved seeing the deers and such a lovely park and nice to have alone time with your older boy. We are in Torquay and the Greenford in Sept for Oz holiday cant wait xo
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to see, and sounds like a perfect start to your time off.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This place was new to me. Looks like a wonderful place to spend time (and looks like you had it all to yourself).
