Last Friday I met up with a friend of mine who goes to the same Church as me. As the weather was OK, my business was quiet and she was on half-term, we decided to go out for the day.

We went to Arlington Court in North Devon. Yes, I did takes loads of photos, but they are still on the film in the camera - so you will have to wait for those. If you want to see about the actual House then look here .  It was the home of the Chichesters, but donated to The National Trust in the 1950s.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - the house was interesting, and their was a spectacular display of carriages in the stables ... DJ would not have been pleased to see what prper working horses had to do!!  In actual fact they were training some horses there - and it was amazing as of the 2 one was a dappled grey, but called Jacob ... So both my boys were united!

While we were walking around the gardens we met the first of our male show-offs ... a stunning peacock.  However many I see, I never cease to be amazed at the spectacular colouring of them.  He was strutting around ... tail up ... turning, each time he saw a camera, I swear - he knew how beautiful he looked.

We then had afternoon tea - and met out second male stunner.  My friend Christine took a photo, which is under the cut, as he allowed me to stand with him - to show off even more I am sure!


Yes - a white peacock ... I have never seen one before - Have you?

 

Yes all in all it was a lovely day out - Photos will eventually turn up!

Oh he's a stunner! How unusual - he'd only last 5 minutes in the wild wouldn't he!!

Males Can Be Real Posers - Can't They?

Definitely! My dog knows how cute he is.

That's a beautiful white peacock. I've never seen one that colour before.

Wow, peacocks are wonderful and beautiful anyway, but that's stunning... Like something from a fairy story. Is it an albino?

I've not been to Arlington Court but I know where it is, and keep meaning to.

He's almost surreal isn't he? My male cat poses but the female won't. Must be a guy thing. ;-)

We have quite a lot of white peacocks in our local wildlife park - I've got some pictures in a box somewhere....

You are right about posy males too!

Hee - I made this icon ages ago - I added the 'suitable text' to a nice screen cap by someone else!

I love icons - I am a bit of an icon whore!
