My first Open Gardens event of the summer with Siobhan, my support worker...we had one arranged for last month but had to cancel because she had problems with her car.
Thorpe Salvin is located a few miles west of Worksop and so is much nearer than all of the other villages we've previously visited which were in the Peak District. Something that interested me in particular today is that Thorpe Salvin is the nearest village to the point where the boundaries of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire meet.
We arrived just before midday and were directed to the car parking area in a field quite near to the ruins of the old fortified manor house.
We then visited the church and eyed up the cakes and cream teas that were being sold.
The rest of the photographs were taken in the gardens that were open, plus a couple of general shots of the village.
On the drive back home we stopped at the tearooms at Braithwell and had a pot of tea and a large slice of refreshing key lime cake each.
