Laundry Time



So for the past two days I haven't been able to post anything because I was away camping in the North Yorkshire Moors (in sub zero temperatures). Slightly crazy perhaps but lots of fun, a great break and plenty of photo opportunities and when I have had time to sort through for the best shots I will be posting some great winter landscapes, seascapes, seabirds and waders, surfers and more so look out for those.

For today though it is back to Erddig and these shots are from the laundry. In the first picture you can see the crank of what was clearly quite a mechanised process pressing the sheets etc for such a large household.

The second shot shows a rack of hand irons neatly lined up waiting to be used. I like how orderly this is and it reminds me of the order of the carpentry workshop in the pictures from earlier this week.

Beautiful Butterflies







Today's selection of butterflies were taken today while on a walk near Betws y Coed in sunny North Wales.  I have been saying for a little while that I wanted to take some butterfly shots and so I was chuffed to bits to get these, even though they were not the most cooperative of specimens and it took some time to get these pictures.

I hope you will agree that it was worth it...
