A visit to Cowdray ruins. World Photography Day 2023.

A visit to Cowdray ruins. World Photography Day 2023.
A bit of a disappointment to be honest. My wife and I always try to get out and about together, but we're unable to get too far off road nowadays which is why we decided on this location. The car park is close by to where we're standing.

We arrived to find the the ruins were completely fenced off. In addition the Walled Garden and Tea Rooms had been closed down. However, I still managed to get a few photos and it was good to get out in the fresh air.

We ended up going out for lunch nearby and still had a decent day out and at least the rain held off :-))

A bit of history: Cowdray House consists of the ruins of one of England's great Tudor houses, architecturally comparable to many of the great palaces and country houses of that time. It is situated in the Parish of Easebourne, just east of Midhurst, West Sussex standing on the north bank of the River Rother. It was largely destroyed by fire on 24 September 1793, but the ruins have nevertheless been Grade I listed.

Thank you so much Christa................you're very kind. It's good of you to stop by.

I think that the ruins close for a while each year for safety checks and any necessary repairs,

Une bien jolie photo Keith. Je vois que vous redoutez la pluie, c'était le cas ici aussi à ce moment là. Actuellement nous sommes dans un dôme de chaleur qui remonte d'Espagne, c'est trés difficile. On prévoit du 40 degrés pour demain. A la campagne c'est vivable mais je plains les gens qui vivent en appartement en ville. Je ne sais pas si cette masse de chaleur va remonter vers l'Angleterre ? actuellement en France elle se cantonne surtout sur la partie Sud. Pour en revenir à la photo, merci pour toutes ces explications.Le style me parait typiquement Britannique. Peux tu transmettre mes salutations à ton épouse. Elle donne une note rayonnante à cette photo

Thank you Jean Paul.............we were lucky that it didn't rain that day, as it had for the two days previously. It was a bit muddy underfoot, but. not too bad.

I feel sorry for those affected by the very. high temperatures, especially those affected by the terrible wildfires. We're quite lucky at the moment with temperatures fairly normal for this time of year (in the low to mid 20s centigrade). If it gets too hot, my wife and I don't even go out!

I'll pass your greeting on to my wife........she'll be pleased :-))
