20 July 2023 A trip to the Burrell Collection

(2 hrs) Not strictly an outdoor pursuit, though I did have a walk in the lovely woods around the collection which took an hour. A friend and I looked around the Burrell Collection and played a game of looking at all the animals and plants we could find on the exhibits. And my goodness, there were a lot! Some were a bit of a mystery, such as the creatures on the middle eastern rugs, but the medieval tapestries, and some of the very old stained glass, had some plants I still have in my garden today. The tapestries also had creatures we no longer see at the zoo - cockatrice, unicorn and gryphon, to name a few!
