Harmony Hill Craft Group Outing.

The Linen Green, Moygashel.

We all enjoyed the Costume Collection and the gardens at Springhill, time was moving on though and we had to leave.

Next stop was the Linen Green for lunch and shopping.

.......or luxury coach?

lunch at Greens

apple pie and custard

icecream

Lunch was delicious, but service was slow and left us short of shopping time.
I managed to spend some money in the Farm Shop though!

 Time to go home and..... guess what?


                                                   
Even our coach was Titanic themed!

Harmony Hill Craft Group Outing.

Springhill Costume Collection.


Titanic themed.
Everywhere you go lately, it's all about Titanic.
My attention drifted from our tour girl as she was talking about the history of the house but I did hear her say that a grand-daughter of the family had travelled to Cherbourg on the Titanic.
That was a good enough reason to base the latest exhibition of costumes around the world-famous ship.




                                                                             






                                                                           






Hats off to Springhill for a lovely exhibition.
Then it was on to lunch and shopping!

We decided to visit Springhill for our outing this year.
On arrival we were more than ready for 'elevenses'. Tea, coffee scones, butter, jam and cream. Not much left by the time we'd finished!
Then it was on to a tour of the house and here we are in the dining room.









                                                       


                                                   

The spring gardens were looking lovely despite the cold and blowy weather and the tulips were perfect.

There was a collection of walking sticks in the hall stand. I liked this bird's head.

We had a lovely time looking at Springhill House and our tour wasn't over yet. 
There was still the Costume Collection to see.
