Weekly Photo Challenge … Pattern

On Sunday I decided to visit and explore Broughton Castle near Banbury which is the family seat of Celia Fiennes [the elder] and Celia Fiennes [the younger}.  I had been researching both ladies and the result so far has been scant.  I hoped that I would find some new and interesting information,  but I was to be disappointed.  There was certainly no examples of Celia’s (the artist and printmaker) work. There was  copy of Celia’s (the traveller) book in the gift shop but it was a rather overpriced paperback.

Unfortunately, the weather was unseasonably cold and wet, not conducive to the strolling round a stately home; especially as there were many others who had a the same idea.

However on a more cheerful note I did  find a few images that  I feel do meet the requirements for this weeks Photo Challenge … so all was not lost.
